9 in 10 students who sit NEET do not get an MBBS seat in India.
Lakhs of serious students write the exam every year. India has seats for a fraction of them. The rest are not less capable. They are simply more in number than the seats.
So what happens to the rest?
Four roads after a NEET result without a seat.
Wasting another year
A drop year is twelve more months of coaching for the same exam and the same seats, with no guarantee that the result changes. Many students sit it twice and land in the same place.
Giving up on your dream
Moving to BDS, pharmacy, nursing or another course because the rank did not come, not because you stopped wanting to be a doctor.
A private seat in India
Management and NRI quota seats in private medical colleges cost crores over the course, and families are often asked for a donation on top of it, with no receipt.
- The road we take you down
MBBS abroad, in Europe
A six-year medical degree from a European university, taught in English, with no donation, that lets you practise in India, in Europe and anywhere else in the world. The same degree European students earn.
Before you read further
MBBS in Europe is the right road if
You have completed Class 12 with physics, chemistry and biology
Or you are in Class 12 now.
You have qualified NEET, if you wish to practise in India after graduating
If you plan to stay and practise in Europe, NEET is not required.
You are open to the challenge of living in a new country
A new city, a different climate and time zone, classmates from across the world, faces you do not yet know. And still you are ready to take it on, because you want to become a doctor.
If that sounds like you, everything below is already in place.

How MBBS in Europe works
Everything an Indian family checks is already covered.
NMC compliant and listed in WDOMS
Every partner university follows NMC rules and is listed in WDOMS, the World Directory of Medical Schools. That is what makes the degree valid for practising in India.
Six-year degree, taught in English
All classes are in English for the full six years. The local language is taught to students alongside, as part of the course.
The degree you receive
A full European medical degree (MUDr. or MD, depending on the country), the same one awarded to the university's own students, and equivalent to MBBS in India.
Practising in India
After graduating, you sit FMGE, the screening exam for foreign medical graduates, complete the required internship, and register with the state medical council.
Practising in Europe or anywhere else
The degree is a full European medical degree. If you wish to stay in Europe, you can practise and train there. You can also sit USMLE for the United States, PLAB for the United Kingdom, or any other country's licensing exam.
No donation
Unlike private seats in India, there is no donation or capitation fee. You pay the university's tuition and nothing else, directly to the university.
Admission through the university's own entrance exam
Each university admits through its own exam, not through your NEET rank. A qualifying NEET score is required only if you wish to come back and practise in India. If you plan to stay in Europe, NEET is not required.
Safety
Every country we work in is a member of the European Union, with the safety, healthcare and legal protection that comes with it.
Indian community and food
Thousands of Indian students already study across the partner universities, with Indian student associations, Indian grocery stores and restaurants in every partner city.
Accommodation
University dormitories are always available, and we help you get one.
Visa and travel
We prepare and file your full student visa, arrange your travel, and fly with you.
Travel across Europe
Your student residence lets you travel across the Schengen area during holidays, and your family can visit you on a visitor visa.

Our students, in their words
They were in your position two years ago.
Students who came to us after NEET, and the parents who made the decision with them.
We stay with you until you become a doctor.
University shortlisting
First we shortlist universities according to your profile, your budget and the country you would like to live in. Two or three that fit you, not a list of twenty.
Entrance exam preparation
We prepare you for each university's own entrance exam, with past question patterns and practice. Most of our exams are held at the embassy, so you sit them in India with a confirmed seat before you fly.
Application, admission and visa
Documents, apostille, the application, the admission letter and the full student visa file, prepared by our team so nothing is missed.
We fly with you
Our team travels with first-year students, and once you land we are there with you in the new country: dormitory and accommodation, SIM card, university registration, and settling into the city and the university.
Full six-year support
We stay with you for the whole six years of your degree, from first-semester exams to clinical rotations. We live in the same countries as our students, with on-ground teams across Europe, so if any problem comes up we are a phone call away.
Guaranteed PG and residency
Through our 150+ partner hospitals across Europe, we guarantee our students a path to postgraduate training and residency after graduation, so the degree leads to a career.

Questions parents ask first
Before you fill the form
Yes. A graduate of a university that follows NMC rules and is listed in WDOMS, the World Directory of Medical Schools, is eligible to sit FMGE, the screening exam for foreign medical graduates. After passing FMGE and completing the required internship, the graduate registers with the state medical council and practises in India like any other doctor.
Yes, if you wish to practise in India after graduating. A qualifying NEET score is required for FMGE eligibility, and a high rank is not needed. If you plan to stay and practise in Europe, NEET is not required.
A full European medical degree, called MUDr. or MD depending on the country, awarded by the university itself. It is the same degree the university's European students receive and it is equivalent to MBBS in India.
No. Universities admit through their own entrance exam, and a gap year after Class 12 does not count against you. Many of our students came to us after one or two NEET attempts.
Most partner universities begin in September or October. Entrance exams are held from spring through summer, most of them at the embassy in India, so students sit the exam and receive their admission before they travel.
It reduces the futureMBBS sign-up fee by 30% for students and parents who sign up through this page. It does not change university tuition, hostel or living costs, which are paid to the university.
Yes. Partner universities teach the international programme in English. Most add the local language from the second or third year, and this is built into the timetable rather than left to the student.
Yes. The degree is the same one awarded to European students, so graduates can sit the licensing exam of the country they wish to work in: USMLE for the United States, PLAB for the United Kingdom, FMGE for India, or the national exam of the European country they studied in. Postgraduate training in Europe is also open to graduates.
Yes. Parents can visit on a short-stay Schengen visitor visa, and a visit during the first semester is something many families plan for.
Us. Our team lives in the same countries as our students, and your mentor and the on-ground team are a phone call away for all six years.
