MBBS in Ukraine (Pros/Benefits)
While the cost of MBBS in Ukraine is comparatively lower than Indian private medical colleges. And considering the extreme competition in India, MBBS colleges in foreign destinations are appropriate. Here’re some of the advantages of doing MBBS in Ukraine.
Education Quality: Quality of education and the infrastructure in Ukraine medical colleges are top-notch and world class. I am talking about the renowned universities in Ukraine. Other than that the government is always willing to help the universities to get the best in terms of research and financial situations.
Cost Of Living: Cost of living and Accommodation is comparatively lower in Ukraine. And you get the European standard of lifestyle and education.
No Donations: There are no donations required that can increase cost to study or study budget for students taking admissions and that hold true for even the cheapest medical colleges in Ukraine.
No Entrance exam: There are no Entrance Exams to take admissions in MBBS from Ukraine’s medical universities.
Campus: Moreover, the extracurricular activities and beautiful sprawling campuses are another key highlight of Ukrainian medical colleges for Indian students.
Food: Food is the first thing which comes in mind while thinking of MBBS abroad. In Ukraine, all top medical universities have Indian Mess (Veg. food available). All cities have Indian Cafes, Restaurants. So, food will never be an issue for Indian students for both Vegetarian and Non-vegetarians.
Overall development: Students pursuing MBBS or other courses are timely encouraged to take part in seminars, conferences and other activities which build their confidence and increases the overall quality learning.
Recognition: Most of the Government and Private medical universities of Ukraine have been recognised by the Medical Councils all across the globe and here I am talking about WHO, MCI, UNESCO, FAIMER to name some.
MBBS in Ukraine (Cons/Disadvantages)
Foreign Language: Even though most of the Ukraine’s Urban population speak English perfectly, there natives who speak native language. But here I feel learning a new language should be welcoming. Learning a new language makes you smarter and skilled.
Krok Exam: However, Krok Exam (even any exam) can never be a disadvantage for students, but if you are planning for MBBS in Ukraine make sure you are a very hardworking student. This exam is taken twice i.e. Krok-1 in 3rd year and Krok-2 in 6th year. It is compulsory to pass this exam with a score of 60.5% (2021 students), 62% (2022 students) and 64% (2023 & onward students). As Ukraine Education Ministery is coming up with new changes, improved level of this exam. If you are a below average or just average student, do not consider MBBS in Ukraine as option as later you will regret your decision. Only consider MBBS in Ukraine if you have the will power to work hard and intelligent student. Due to failure in Krok, hundreds of students take transfer to other countries later and it suffers alot.
High Fees: Ukrainian Medical colleges are comparatively expensive from other countries like Russia, Kazakhastan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, China & other countries. It cost around 35-40 Lacs including all living expenses and fees.
