The 6th year involves Clinical Internship.
In November 2021, the National Medical Commission (NMC) released the “Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate Regulations, 2021,” which apply to foreign medical graduates seeking permanent registration in India, not exclusive to China. These regulations outline specific criteria:
Course Duration: The General Medicine course in China spans 5 years, the same for local and foreign students, meeting the requirement of a 54-month duration.
Internship: NMC stipulates a 12-month internship in addition to the 5-year course. The medical universities provide clerkship/clinical rotations for 12 months or more.
Medium of Instruction: Chinese universities teach in English. However, proficiency in the Local language is essential for patient interactions during hospital visits and local communication.
Local Government’s Licensing exam must be cleared.
As of Now, very few countries meet the FMGL Regulations. If you study in China, remember:
Complete your foreign medical graduation course within ten years from enrollment.
Degrees from universities with a bilingual pattern may not be valid in India.
To ensure the validity of your degree in India, clear the NEET exam before admission. MBBS abroad without NEET may not allow you to sit for NEXT.
Clear the local Government’s licensing exam.
This is a popular choice among Indian students, with classes commencing in September.
Most MBBS programs typically commence during the Fall semester, with application deadlines falling between the months of February and September. However, some MBBS programs may offer a Spring intake, starting in March, and have corresponding application deadlines in December and January.
Securing an education loan for pursuing MBBS in China is indeed possible, although it might require some effort as not all banks readily offer loans for studying abroad.
Loan Amount and Application Process
Banks typically offer loans of up to ₹7 or 7.5 lakhs without the need for any collateral, whereas for higher loan amounts, collateral might be required. During the loan application process, banks will scrutinize parental documents alongside essential details such as the admission letter, which can be facilitated with the support of Rich Global Edu.
Preferred Banks and Interest Rates
To initiate the loan process, it is advisable to approach Government Banks or Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) banks such as Canara Bank, State Bank of India, Allahabad Bank, or State Bank of Mysore. It is recommended to first approach the bank where you hold an existing account. The interest rates are typically in the range of 10-13% for loans exceeding INR 4 lakh and 7-9% for loans below INR 4 lakh, with compound interest calculations being employed by the bank.
Important Considerations
The bank disburses the loan on a yearly basis, and failure in the initial year might affect subsequent loan disbursements.
The process of securing an education loan might require applications at multiple banks before obtaining approval.
It is crucial to gather detailed information from the bank regarding the repayment schedule and the total interest amount to be paid.
Documents Required for Education Loan
Admission letter from the university
Completed loan application form
Passport-sized photographs
Proof of identity (such as Aadhar Card, PAN Card, or Passport)
Proof of residence (such as Aadhar Card, Voter ID, or Passport)
Academic records of the student (mark sheets, certificates, etc.)
Admission acceptance letter and fee structure from the university
Proof of admission-related expenses (hostel fees, tuition fees, etc.)
Proof of parents’ income and employment
Income tax returns of the co-applicant or guarantor, if applicable
Bank account statement of the last six months of the co-applicant or guarantor
Collateral documents, if applicable
Accommodation Arrangements for Indian Students
Indian students are typically provided accommodation within the university’s hostels for the entire duration of their MBBS program in China.
Initially, it is mandatory for new students to reside in the university’s hostels for at least one year, primarily due to their limited knowledge of the local language for effective communication with the residents.
After the first year, students have the option to either continue residing in the university’s hostels or choose to rent a flat or apartment with their peers, should they wish to explore alternative accommodation options.
To ensure a comfortable living environment, separate hostel facilities are designated for Indian boys and girls, often allocated within distinct blocks or wings of the same hostel building.
Safety and Security Measures
Hostels, whether managed by the university or private entities, are equipped with comprehensive safety features, including CCTV surveillance systems at critical locations and fire alarms in every room, prioritizing the safety and security of international students.
Entry and exit times from the hostel premises are regulated, with set times of 6:00 AM and 8:00 PM respectively. A dedicated security guard is present to monitor the movement of students and visitors within the hostel premises.
Facilities and Amenities
Each hostel floor is equipped with a communal kitchen, enabling Indian students to prepare their meals as per their preferences.
Furthermore, reading halls, sports facilities, and laundry services are readily accessible within both government and private hostels.
Rooms are furnished with essential amenities, including study tables, chairs, lamps, beds, bed sheets, pillows, and wardrobes. The hostel administration facilitates furniture repairs in case of damages and provides weekly exchanges for bedding items.
To ensure comfort during the colder months, rooms are equipped with radiators for efficient heating.
Additional Amenities and Services
Essential utilities such as electricity, hot and cold water, and cooking gas are typically included in the hostel fee for government and private hostels in Bangladesh. However, when opting for private accommodation, additional charges may apply based on usage.
Students have the flexibility to choose between 2/3/4 seater rooms based on availability and can request room changes by submitting a formal application to the hostel administration.
Hostel dining facilities, typically mandatory for first-year Indian students, offer the convenience of an Indian mess serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner at a monthly cost ranging between USD 500 to 1000. From the second year onwards, students have the option to continue availing the Indian mess services on a paid basis or utilize the hostel kitchen facilities for self-cooking purposes.
