1/n #EasyMedicalDegrees UKRAINE has brought into focus the ‘plight’ of students. WHY do these students go to Ukraine, Russia, Romania, Bulgaria and more such countries in Eastern Europe region? Everyone says it is COST there vs COST IN INDIA. There is MUCH MORE to it.

2/n #EasyMedicalDegreesHere is ‘AAJ KA KNOWLEDGE’.
•Cost 15-20 lacs for six years vs 70 lacs to 2 crores in India for 4 year + six month internship course
•Competition is less
•No entrance exam in most
•No criteria for entrance
•Percentage in class 12 does not matter

3/n #EasyMedicalDegreesHere
•Circumvent Govt of India 2018 directive for students wanting to go abroad for medical UG degree where appearing in NEET is mandatory. Govt cut off is TWENTY PERCENT. These students appear, get 20% and become eligible.

4/n #EasyMedicalDegreesHere
•In India, even private medical colleges do not admit if percentage in NEET is less than 60%
•Ukraine is ‘walk in with fees and get admission’
•STAMP of EUROPE on Medical Degree
•Will quote better student-teacher ratio
•Better ethics

5/n #EasyMedicalDegreesHere
•Easy entry into public health
•Better exchange programmes
•UKRAINE IS MOST POPULAR because it permits Credit Transfer System where a student can change country within Europe for continuing studies.

6/n #EasyMedicalDegreesHere
On return to India these students CAN neither practice nor get admitted in higher education in medical, but no one can stop then prefixing their name with “Dr” (understand what it means in Indian context)

7/n #EasyMedicalDegreesHere
•All students with Foreign Degrees must appear and pass FOREIGN MEDICAL GRADUATES EXAM (FMGE) if they desire to practice or study further.
•Pass percentage of FMGE is around 15%, of every 100 MBBS degree holders 85 FAIL.

8/n #EasyMedicalDegreesHere
•Only 14-15% of students who have studied in Ukraine pass FMGE.
•Number of coaching institutes in India impart coaching to clear FMGE. Add this cost of coaching to 15-20 lacs expense abroad and the cost of unemployment at Rs 50K to 1 lac per month.

9/n #EasyMedicalDegreesHere
•16 lacs students appear NEET in India for 90,000 medical seats. Of these a fraction are in Government Colleges, rest are private.
•The ratio of applicants in 1: 30 in India if you count those going abroad too. Of this 15 apply to get 20% cut off.

10/n #EasyMedicalDegreesHere
•Population of Ukraine is 4.5 Cr (Odisha in India has population of 4.3 Cr).

•Area of Ukraine is 6 lac sq km (equal to Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh combined)

11/n #EasyMedicalDegreesHere
•Ukraine has TWENTY FIVE MEDICAL COLLEGES, one college for every 1.5 lac people
•OR If you spread Odisha population in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, they will have 25 medical colleges

12/LAST #EasyMedicalDegreesHere
•OR at the ratio in Ukraine, India should have 8235 medical colleges, yes, EIGHT THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVE MEDICAL COLLEGES) 8235 Medical Colleges in India

YOUR CHILD, YOUR CALL.

JAI HIND

Correction in 12/LAST #EasyMedicalDegreesHere
•OR at the ratio in Ukraine, India should have 823 medical colleges, yes, EIGHT HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE MEDICAL COLLEGES) 823 Medical Colleges in India

13/n #NotEasyInIndia Practicing medicine as profession or pursuing further studies is not easy in India. It’s so easy to criticise Hon'ble Minister Prahlad Joshi’s utterance about 90% unable to get through NEET. My thread has thrown up lot of information. Here is some.

14/n #NotEasyInIndia (this information is courtesy a Tw friend) Any pvt medical college has 3 types of seats - Govt Quota seats, Self Paid Seats and Management Quota seats. Govt quota seats are taken by meritorious people. Cutoff is as high as govt med colleges.

15/n #NotEasyInIndia Self paid seats are taken by people who miss out on govt quota seats narrowly but can pay 5-10 lakhs annually. Cutoff is always more than 50-60% in self paid seats. Lastly there are Management Quota seats which go for 1.5-2 crs and are given to anyone who has

16/n #NotEasyInIndia cleared the 20% cutoff. A student scoring 150/720 can take adm in mgmt quota if he can pay. So if the final cutoff for a govt medical college was 540/720, the cutoff for Govt quota seats in pvt would be around 520 and the self paid seats would go for 460/720.

14/n #NotEasyInIndia (this information is courtesy a Tw friend) Any pvt medical college has 3 types of seats - Govt Quota seats, Self Paid Seats and Management Quota seats. Govt quota seats are taken by meritorious people. Cutoff is as high as Govt Med colleges.

17/n Here finally comes the data no one knows. If we take MBBS final results, after successful graduation, can we work percentage of students who were in 50 mark bracket starting from 670-720, 620-670, 570-620, 520-570, 479-520 and so on. NEET did its job. Did everyone learn?

18/n #DoctorsInIndia At the end of successful MBBS, WHY should a person be permitted to practice or pursue higher studies? It’s human life they will handle for their lifetime. They MUST now go through NEET-2 after graduating. That I believe is mandatory from 2023 called NEXT.

19/n #DoctorsInIndia WE ARE MASTERS IN DIGGING MISERY WHERE AS WE MISS THE ‘DIAMOND MINES’ THAT WE HAVE UNDER OUR FEET.

We can convert the MEDICAL field into a Diamond Mine.

HOW?
