MBBS & BDS from Bangladesh Medical Colleges

 

Dear all, Let me give you a very good option and believe me. I am suggesting it after looking at almost all the facts. If you are not able to get admission in MBBS or BDS in Pakistan, then before trying for the options of Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan or China (I am not undermining them in any way, but just giving my personal opinion), Do try for admissions in Bangladesh Medical Colleges.

Why so ? Kuin ?

1) You can get admission in the Govt. Medical Colleges of Bangladesh

2) When you get admission in Govt. owned medical colleges in any country, especially in South Asia, such as Bangladesh. They will have the same quality level as other countries such as Pakistan or India. Bangladesh Doctors are equally well known for the quality healthcare around the world as Pakistani doctors. Moreover, you will have practical experience of the same kind of diseases as in Pakistan, due to similarities in many regards

3) I am not undermining medical schools in China, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, etc, but check the dates of establishing (birth dates) the medical schools in these countries and in Bangladesh You will get the idea that Govt. Medical Schools in Bangladesh are old enough, which have had enough time to develop skills, faculty, and practical facilities in their colleges that are the same as you are having in Pakistan Govt. Medical Colleges. 

See their establishment dates in PDF in the drive link 

4) The most important is the annual fee of Medical Schools in Bangladesh, which varies from just 10,000 PKR to 25,000 PKR per year. Yes, per year (so less)

5) Dormitory is free in most of Bangladesh Medical Schools

6) If you eat from university mess, then your monthly expenses can be maximum 10,000 PKR per month or if you cook yourself, then they can be even less, if you eat from outside, then they can vary upto to 25,000 PKR per month maximum.

7) A lot of Pakistani students are studying there. Language of instruction is Bangla and English Mix. But this language is not difficult, you can easily learn it in two to three months according to Pakistanis studying there. There is no racism to Pakistani students there as reported by Pakistani students studying there

8 ) PMDC, who is doing very badly with foreign medical graduates by not giving them license to practice in Pakistan nowadays. They gave full allowance to Bangladesh Medical Graduates to practice in Pakistan

9) Considering less money and having education in Govt. & established medical schools in Bangladesh are the best option. Also, many medical schools at Bangladesh have higher rankings than King Edward Medical College in QS rankings

10) Google the reasons for studying MBBS or BDS in Bangladesh. You will find amazing reasons from Indians also. I will also suggest that you take admission even paying a private fee (quite high) in old respected colleges of Bangladesh rather than studying in private colleges in Pakistan, I see their old private medical colleges dated back to 1985, 1995 etc. See their establishment dates in PDF in the drive link
