Nepal is one of the most preferred destinations for Indian students aspiring to pursue an MBBS degree. Its close proximity to India, visa-free travel, pleasant climate, and similarities in culture, food, and lifestyle make Nepal an ideal choice for medical education.

The MBBS curriculum in Nepal is almost identical to the Indian MBBS syllabus and follows the guidelines accepted by Indian medical authorities. The course duration is 5.5 years, including a one-year compulsory internship, just like the MBBS program in India.

Many medical colleges in Nepal offer attractive tuition fee scholarships for Indian students based on their NEET score for limited Period. Students who apply early have a better chance of securing these scholarships, making quality medical education even more affordable.

Compared to private medical colleges in India that you may get with a similar NEET score, medical colleges in Nepal offer excellent infrastructure, quality education, and clinical exposure at a cost that is typically ?20–25 lakhs lower than India. Since the tuition fees are charged in Indian Rupees (INR), students are also protected from foreign currency exchange fluctuations.

Indian students graduating from medical colleges in Nepal have consistently recorded one of the highest FMGE passing percentages among all foreign countries. The FMGE pass percentage for Nepal has been around 93%, compared to the overall average of approximately 20% across all foreign medical graduates. This reflects the strong academic standards and quality of medical education in Nepal.
