No, it is not at all true. MCI Screening Test is officially known as the FMGE – Foreign Medical Graduate Screening Test. It is held by the National Board of Examinations (NBE) twice every year in June and December. There are no restrictions on a number of attempts that can be availed by an applicant. Since the year 2014, the test is being held in ‘Computer Based Format (CBT)’ unlike the OCR sheet format of earlier years.

Why is Fees so low in Medical Universities of China, Belarus.. ?

https://softamo.org/about/faq, This is a question most often asked by inquisitive parents and puzzles many a person. It is interesting to note that the medical institutions of China and Belarus are state-owned i.e., drawing huge Government funding and support. Further, as we know, China remains a communist country, while Belarus was the erstwhile Soviet Republic under the communist regime. Public health and Education being the primordial aspects of Communist rule, the massive infrastructure of Hospitals, Labs, Equipment, Buildings, etc. were built up under special drive to eradicate diseases and ensure good health of citizens at the cheapest costs. This resulted in promoting medical education with institutions having the capacity to recruit 2000 to 3000 students. As a result, China achieved Doctor:Patient ratio of 1:950 and Belarus 1:220, way ahead than many developed countries, while international norm prescribed by WHO is at 1:1000. Having reached a saturation point on the domestic front, these well established medical institutions were thrown open to foreign students as part of the globalization of education, and also to earn precious foreign exchange. With abundant Govt. funding and readymade infrastructure, these institutions only need to recruit proficient English medium faculty and bear nominal costs of remuneration and establishment expenses to offer the high standard English medium courses and thus attract students from Asia, Latin America, Europe, and African countries with very low/affordable fees.

During the Soviet Era, under the communist regime, massive Medical Universities were established that can accommodate different trades of Medicine to the tune of 3000 to 5000 students in each institution, to enhance the Doctors Ratio and protect the people from horrible diseases. As a result, the Doctor-patient ratio in countries like Belarus is 1:220 and Ukraine is 1:240 whereas in India it is 1:1700. In these circumstances, when the need for Doctors reached saturation point in Belarus/Ukraine, to keep the Medical Universities running and to earn precious foreign exchange, these well established medical institutions have opened their doors to foreign students of Asia, Africa and Latin American Countries with the affordable economical fee structure. They are all set up in the years 1956, 1957 and long back and considered to be the best colleges of Medical education in the World. The same is the case with China, a Communist country, whereas a part of the globalization of education, they have opened up the doors of their medical universities to foreign students implementing English Medium courses. It is a great opportunity for the middle-income group students to catch up with the opportunity to join these Medical Universities.

Can a student work while studying ?

https://softamo.org/about/faq, This is a question most often asked by inquisitive parents and puzzles many a person. It is interesting to note that the medical institutions of China and Belarus are state-owned i.e., drawing huge Government funding and support. Further, as we know, China remains a communist country, while Belarus was the erstwhile Soviet Republic under the communist regime.

With abundant Govt. funding and readymade infrastructure, these institutions only need to recruit proficient English medium faculty and bear nominal costs of remuneration and establishment expenses to offer the high standard English medium courses and thus attract students from Asia, Latin America, Europe, and African countries with very low/affordable fees.

This question evokes the counter-question as to whether the student is equipped with sufficient funds to pursue their studies in foreign medical institutions since the earning while studying mostly suggests the shortage of funds. Two important points need to be weighed in mind. First, the passport of the student bears an education visa not a work visa, hence strictly speaking working for earning is not legal. Second, there will be hardly any spare time in medical studies, and as the student progresses, the clinical and hospital works keep them too busy. It will be sweet to hear about part-time earning, but this is practically not feasible as the countries offering MBBS courses in the market are not comparable with developed countries like the US, UK, etc., and the fee structures are already subsidized and committed at the time of admission. Therefore, the parent is sincerely advised to plan and organize sufficient funds for complete medical studies of a student without falling prey to marketing ploys. Kindly remember, no Embassy will be ready to stamp the visa and no university will be ready to accept a student who is falling short of funds.

Are the Universities promoted by Softamo Education Group recognized by the MCI?

This is a question most often asked by inquisitive parents and puzzles many a person. It is interesting to note that the medical institutions of China and Belarus are state-owned i.e., drawing huge Government funding and support. Further, as we know, China remains a communist country, while Belarus was the erstwhile Soviet Republic under the communist regime.

Yes, Medical Council of India by its Extra-ordinary Gazette of India dated 08-02-2002, issued Notification making a major amendment to the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 on the recognition to foreign medical degrees. It was clarified that in respect of the medical institutions whose name and details are listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools of World Health Organization, the primary medical qualifications awarded by them will be recognized, subject to clearing of the Screening Test conducted by the National Board of Examinations. Further, in the case of China, every academic year, MCI publishes the list of approved medical colleges/universities on their website (www.mciindia.org) as received from the Embassy of India in Beijing, and the student is supposed to take admission only in the approved medical college/university. Softamo Education Group is promoting only such universities.

Why should a student prefer to apply to the abroad Universities through Softamo Education Group only and not through other organizations?

First, the aim of the Softamo Education Group is to offer students value for the money they pay. Besides that, the Medical Universities under the Ministry of Education of the respective countries gave authenticity to the Softamo Education Group to send the students for the study courses. Hence, it is easy through the Softamo Education Group to fulfill the formalities concerning the Visa and the emigration Procedures.

What are the services Softamo Education Group is offering to the students and which have to be paid for?

Softamo Education Group specifies and details all the charges that will have to be borne by the student. This helps the student to budget for the same. Even though Softamo Education Group specifies various services like Admission Confirmation Letter, Visa and Medical Insurance etc., it does not take into account some services which may need to be offered to the student and the same is offered free of cost.

Are the Universities promoted by Softamo Education Group recognized by the Medical Council of India?

Yes, Medical Council of India by its latest Extra-ordinary Gazette of India dt18-02-2002, gave a historical notification concerning its recognition to foreign medical Degrees, wherein in respect of the universities whose name and details are listed in the world directory of Medical Schools of World Health Organization, the degrees awarded by them will be recognized. Softamo Education Group is promoting only such universities.

It clarified in its Gazette mentioned above that “Indian Students who are desirous of joining an Undergraduate Medical Course (equivalent to MBBS in India) in any Foreign Medical Institution on or after the 15th March 2002 shall have to approach the Medical Council of India for the issue of Eligibility Certificate. No candidate who has obtained admission in a Foreign Medical Institution on or after the 15th March 2002 shall be permitted to sit for the Screening Test, after obtained the Medical Degree from Abroad, for the purpose of his registration in India, unless he produces the Eligibility Certificate issued by the Medical Council of India. No candidate shall be allowed to appear in the Screening Test unless he possesses any Primary Medical Qualification, either whose name and the institution awarding it are included in the WORLD DIRECTORY OF MEDICAL SCHOOLS, published by the WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION.

Why the Fee structure in Ukraine/ Belarus / China is so economical concerning some Medical Universities?

At the time when the Soviet Union stood as a Super Power in the world, they established massive Medical Universities that can accommodate different trades of Medicine to the tune of 3000 to 5000 students in each institution, to enhance the Doctors Ratio and protect the people from horrible diseases. As a result, now the Doctor-patient ratio in Independent Ukraine is 1:203 and Belarus is 1: 269 whereas in India it is 1:3,500. In these circumstances, when there is no need for more Doctors in Ukraine/ Belarus they can’t close down the Medical Universities and give them for Food Godown or throw out the staff, who are Lakhs in number, to unemployment. In these circumstances, those Universities have opened their doors for Asia, Africa, and Latin American Countries, which are underdeveloped, with the affordable economical fee structure; only to maintain the running of their fully established colleges. They are all set up in 1956,1957 and long back and considered to be the best colleges of Medicine in the World. The same is the case with China, a Communist country, whereas a part of Globalization, they have opened up the doors of their medical universities to foreign students implementing English Medium courses. It is a great opportunity for our Middle Classes to catch this opportunity of joining those Medical Universities.
