From the last five years, around 60% of the students who want to pursue a degree in medicine have been moving to different countries such as Nepal, Bangladesh, China and Russia for their higher education. After the Russian Ukraine war, medical students from Russia were forced to return back to their countries. As a result, all the returning Indian students Had nowhere to go in order to complete their education.
As a result, the government of India announced that all the medical colleges in India must accommodate the students. From the past one decade a lot of students from India had been moving out to lesser-known countries to pursue their medical degrees. The reason behind this outflow of medical students from India is the lack of medical seats in India. There are very few government medical colleges in India that are not enough to accommodate all the medical aspirants.
The private colleges have very high tuition fees which can go up to 1,00,00,000 per annum. This is something that not everyone can afford. On the other hand, less known countries like Nepal and Bangladesh offer medical degrees at cheaper prices. Countries like Russia and Ukraine also had the facility of cheap medical degrees. This is the reason why most of the Indian students who are not able to get a good rank in NEET end up going to other countries.
