Why choose foreign universities to do MBBS in 2021?

Looking at the current crisis of global pandemic caused by a coronavirus, the duties & responsibilities of medical professionals seem to go challenging & yet more demanding on the contrary.

The epidemic of COVID-19 had a sheer impact on the Indian education system .

In the midst of all, the need for doctors & localized clinics are often exponentially higher to supply immediate health care facilities to the national citizens who are still inaccessible to a lot of basic clinical services.

However, the following questions still emerge to doubt the national education system & their functionality in a student's career growth.

Do India's National Medical Commission & govt authorities are capable enough to fulfill this demand?
Are the number of seats compatible enough to match the admission rates of the students?
Is the quality of medical education in India reliable to produce excellent medical professionals?

Let's figure out the current scenario of admission for medical courses in India, & decide if options like Russia are trustworthy or not!

Types of colleges	MBBS - Seats		BDS - Seats
	Govt Colleges	272	41,388	50	3,513
	Pvt Colleges & Deemed Universities	260	35,540	263	23,260
Total seats visa NEET	532	76,928	313	26,773

Note: The stats of colleges in the given table are subjected to constant fluctuation, but it is observed that the average is static throughout the year.

Although every year 6,50,000 students apply for medical courses in India, the number of available medical seats have limited quantities.
The combined seats of both govt & Pvt. medical colleges reach the average count of 65,000.
It shows that the number of students combating for single MBBS & BDS seats are almost close to 200.

How studying MBBS in Russia is the wisest career decision for Indian medical aspirants?

Russia consists of every single element that any foreign country must have to pull the attention of international students.

Name anything & Russian universities are capable enough to provide everything to fulfill your dreams of becoming a doctor.
