MBBS In Nepal
MBBS- Bechelor of Medicine , Bechelor of Surgery
Nestled in the majestic Himalayas, Nepal has become one of the most sought-after destinations for MBBS abroad, steadily growing in importance. As a developing nation, it offers immense opportunities for social and economic growth, along with unique academic advantages.
Nepal boasts 1800+ medical seats across 5 Government and 15 Private medical colleges. According to the Medical Education Commission (MEC) of Nepal, approximately 540 seats are reserved for international students. However, securing a seat in a Government Medical College requires qualifying through the MEC examination. For admission to private medical institutions in Nepal, qualifying in the current year’s NEET exam is mandatory.
