China is known for its ancient traditions in herbal medicines and their primitive treatment methods. China has now come a long way from that to be one of the most advanced countries in medical science. Having identified the correct balance between their herbal medicines, amalgamated with cutting edge biomedical research, China is leading the way in identifying and treating various health issues. With all these advancements, China was able to double the average life expectancy of a Chinese to 75 in less than half a century. The most mentionable reason for this change is the government's mentality to invest heavily in its health care sector. Of late, China has evolved to be one of the prime preferences of Indian students planning to study medicine abroad. The high cost of completing their MBBS in India has led many aspirants to make China their number one destination.
Indians who choose to study medicine in China can explore and experience high-quality education, better living conditions, and work on advanced tools and equipment. The world-class training and the internationally reputed medicinal program provided in China makes it easier for the students to choose China. A recent study identifies that at present there are over 23,000 Indian students studying different courses in Chinese universities, out of the 23,000 Indian students, over 21,000 have enrolled to study MBBS, which is an all-time high. Seeking the rising number of Indians pursuing medical science in China, the country's education ministry has authorized 45 of the local medical colleges from among over 200 to enroll foreign students to teach MBBS in English.
Some of the other reasons why China makes a strong option for Indian students who wish to pursue MBBS are -
The Increasing competition in India makes it very hard for many of the students to pass the entrance system in India. Even if you pass the exam to get into reputed universities you need to score high marks and go up the rank lists. In addition to this, the expense of completing MBBS in India now is sky high
The state of the art infrastructure provided by the Chinese and the international reputation for Chinese medicine also supports the decision of choosing China as a compelling argument.
Chinese government enrolls International students in 49 different universities, out of these 49 Universities, Medical council of India has recognized and approved 45 Chinese universities for studying medicine. All medical institutes and universities are tied up with well equipped hospital for practical training and exposure.
The admission procedures in all of the Chinese universities are much simple and easy when compared with the Indian scenario. After you qualify their entrance you will have an interview with the CMEI Management team. Based on your marks in the entrance exam and your performance in the interview you will be selected.
Since English is spoken for most part, it is not going to be a barrier. This is another reason why many Indian students wishing to study medicine abroad gravitate towards China. This also makes China much more comfortable than countries like Russia and Ukraine which were the previous destinations the students chose.
The ties between India and China are also giving importance to the educational sector. Along with this the economic growth of China and the greater safety provided to the female students also makes the list of why Indian students choose China to study medicine.
The combination of low cost of education, the world class training facilities and the chance of making a better living makes China one of the favorite destinations for Indian students to pursue their career in medicine.
