  • Select your preferred MBBS University abroad  and check its eligibility guidelines.
  • A lot of times, countries could require applicants to appear for an eligibility test to be eligible to study in their country. Candidates could also be required to appear for an English Proficiency Test to be eligible to apply.
  • Fill out the online application form of the university with all your accurate details
  • Applicants would be then required to send their passport along with their original documents and their letter of acceptance to the concerned embassy to apply for their student visa.
  • Once the Student Visa is issued depending on the time taken by the embassy. The applicant would be then required to make his travel arrangements to reach his university before the commencement of his course.


Students can always get in touch with university representatives or student alumni to make the application process easy and hassle-free.

Hi,

Since you have completed high school in India and now you plan to pursue medical studies in USA, you need to first enroll yourself in an undergraduate program of whichever major you wish but preferably related to biological sciences along with the pre medicine track. Once you are done with four years of undergraduate degree course, you can give MCAT to get admission in medical schools for MD program.
