MCI Test | NEXT | Screening, Eligibility, Coaching, Syllabus and Subjects

He/she must be a citizen of India

• The applicant must possess primary medical qualifications that are recognized by the Government of that country issuing that qualification.
• The said medical school must be listed in the WHO directory of medical schools as well as in MCI approved list in the year of admission.
• The degree must be authorized by the Indian Embassy or Consulate of that country.

From 15.03.2002 and onwards, all students are required to obtain an Eligibility Certificate from MCI to study MBBS abroad. But students who have taken admission in Foreign medical college in between 15.05.2013 and 31.12.2013 and 01.06.2018 onwards, will not require any Eligibility Certificate, till any further notification by MCI.

For students going abroad on or after 1st June 2018, NEET qualified mark sheet is enough for their Eligibility.

The syllabus in China is precisely similar to India. Even you have to buy books from India. The same Indian author's books, which are followed in Indian Medical Colleges, are taught in China. Like B. D. Chaurasiya, K. D. Tripathi, Panikar, A. K. Jain, I. B. Singh, etc. So you will have to study anything extra for the MCI test.
The same syllabus is followed in some Colleges in Russia, Ukraine, and Kyrgyzstan and also in Bangladesh.

If you can maintain 90% attendance during your MBBS course in any institution abroad, you will automatically become a good doctor.
But if you avoid classes and then take unfair means to pass exams in your college, then do not expect to clear MCI Test or NEXT test.
China is the 1st country in the world to maintain a strict attendance system and Exam procedure.

The test questions are of 2 sets. One set depends on the practical aspect, hospital case study. Anyone can score 75% marks in this set of problems.

But another set of questions is based on the theory part which you will study in the 1st year, 2nd year, and 3rd year. Now when you reach 5th year of your course, it is apparent that you will forget the details of 1st year, 2nd year, and 3rd year, especially definitions, measurements, drug calculation, etc. Suppose you scored 85-90% in History in the Class 10 exam, but you won't be able to answer a single question of history now. The same thing may happen when you will reach 5th year.

So what will you do.... You will just study once more the textbooks of 1st year, 2nd year and 3rd year in the final 3 - 4 months of 5th year.

Some reputed coaching institutes in India specialize in MCI test / NEXT test coaching. They will provide you online coaching and will conduct an online mock test with a set of 5000 questions. This will help you to understand the pattern of question and secondly in which subject you are still weak a bit. These coaching centers generally charge Rs 15000 - 20000 for the whole four months of coaching online. You will be able to do all these things while you are abroad. Alternately you can join their Classroom coaching too.

While studying abroad, make a target of scoring a minimum of 70% marks in all the semester exams in all subjects. Then you will surely clear the MCI test/NEXT test in once chance. Just remember to study the textbooks once more in the final three months.
