MBBS Colleges in Kazakhstan : MCI Recognition
All medical universities in Kazakhstan that are offered by us above, are recognized by MCI (Medical Council of India) and the same can be checked online by visiting list of medical colleges to study MBBS abroad. We strongly recommend each and every student to once visit the MCI’s official website and verify that the selected medical college in Kazakhstan, where he/she intends to take MBBS admission in Kazakhstan is recognized in MCI’s website. This is very important, as only those students who complete their MBBS course from a MCI recognized medical university in Kazakhstan are allowed to appear in the MCI Screening Test/FMGE/National Exit Test in India for practicing medicine here.
Medical Colleges in Kazakhstan : Government/Private
Most MBBS colleges in Kazakhstan that are currently being offered by us to Indian students are government universities with few of them being private universities too. This is one of the prime reasons for such low MBBS fees in Kazakhstan as compared to Indian medical colleges. With a very low population in Kazakhstan, these handful number of medical universities in Kazakhstan are actually sufficient to provide adequate healthcare services to whole of it’s population. Hence, neither there has been any such requirement nor competition among universities or colleges in Kazakhstan for establishing new universities in Kazakhstan yet.
Medical Universities in Kazakhstan : Fees Criteria
Just as not all MBBS medical colleges in India have the same fee structure, the same applies to Kazakhstan too. However, there are some obvious factors which determine and help us understand the varying pattern of fees in different medical colleges in Kazakhstan. Some of the factors are as mentioned below :
*Location of university
*Establishment year of university
*Number of years since English medium course started
*Number of foreign students enrolled in university
*Standard of hostel & facilities for foreign students
*Number of hospitals associated with university for clinical classes
*Level of expertise of medical faculty teaching in English medium
*Additional facility of MCI training & preparation
*Availability of guest lecturers from India
*Use of modern & digital technology in teaching
*Opportunity to participate in exchange programs with other countries
These above factors are not the only ones that are taken into consideration while deciding fees. There are some top notch universities in Kazakhstan, that have very good infrastructure and facilities, but offer MBBS course in low fees as a step to attract more international students and stay in competition with other universities that are well established since decades.
