MBBS Abroad

What goes on in the mind of a perspective student from India who starts considering going for MBBS abroad? I have started analyzing this. And in order to understand them better, one has to look at some facts.
1. Indian students consider MBBS abroad only when they don't get a seat in NEET.
2. They feel they have failed their parents by not getting through NEET.
3. They feel that going abroad would add a lot of financial burden on their families.
4. What would happen when they come back to India with a foreign degree? Will they be able to practice in India?
5. Will they be able to adapt to the environment abroad. Will they be able to survive well in an alien country where they don't have the protected environment created by their parents.

There are many self doubts that these very young students go through - And the decision is definitely not easy. Yesterday I met a young man who kept asking questions like,"What if I fail in a couple of subjects in the first year." "What if I come back and fail the MCI screening test." "What will happen if I fail in the final year." and so on. All the questions were about not making it, about failing.

I was trying to understand where he is coming from. He has just come to know that he is not getting a college admission based on the poor performance in NEET. He feels that he has let down himself and his family. He has taken this loss too harshly upon himself. Will he be able to overcome it?

I do feel bad that children have to go through competitive exams, which already have a ratio of getting selected at just 5%, and they have to go through such guilt after not passing. I feel they need time to sit back and think about the whole thing. Do they really deserve to put themselves through so much guilt and pain? It is important for parents and counselors also to help these children move on in life. They have to be explained that everyone in this whole world goes through his/her share of failures in life, and it is a process which makes them who they are. Mistakes and failures help us learn to improve ourselves.

Regarding admissions however, the trend seems to be changing. This year we have a lot of students at DTMU who have chosen to take admission even before NEET results. They have understood that studying at DTMU - USMLE based curriculum would make them internationally much more qualified and competent than studying MBBS in India.

MBBS in Georgia

It was in 2010, when I was seeing off DTMU students at the Mumbai Airport. They were going with dreams in their eyes to do MBBS inGeorgia. Their dreams were big and so was their baggage. I was quite surprised to see that most of them had an overweight baggage to the tune of about 20 kilos and more. How did that happen?

Indian food, masalas, MBBS books, clothes – lots and lots of clothes etc, everything in huge quantities, but why didn’t they weigh their baggage at all? Most of them were shocked to find the cost of extra weight. So, that was also a lesson for us to emphasize on this subject in every seminar and meet with the students and their parents.

Very good quality clothes are available in Georgia; at a very reasonable cost. In fact it is advisable to purchase clothes from there itself because the designs and the styles are different. That really helps in reducing the baggage weight. Secondly, we also advise them to purchase extra weight fro m their airlines much beforehand. That weight is so much cheaper than what you end up paying at the airport.

Recreational activities for students in Tbilisi, Georgia

One of the great things about studying in Tbilisi, Georgia is that you have ample recreational activities. The nation has always encouraged its citizens to take part in outdoor and indoor sporting and cultural activities. All over the country there are facilities for recreation. However, the type of recreational activity also depends on the season. In winter most recreational activities are geared towards the snow and during the summer it is water-related. However, there are many more activities for students than just playing sports.

For foreign students, recreational activities really depend on the company. After a long week of studying hard, most foreign students prefer to just take it easy over the weekends. Often, students get together and organize informal dinners and listen to music, watch videos and play indoor games.

For those who are more active, there are ample recreational activities. Almost all universities and colleges have sports arenas where one can participate in indoor sporting activities like swimming, tennis, badminton or even squash. Tbilisi also has many jogging and cycling tracks all over the city.

There are cinemas, restaurants, cafeterias and fast food joints all over. In general most foreign students prefer to eat home cooked meals and watch online movies- which is cheaper and more satisfying.

During long weekends, one can get out of town and go to the seashore. Georgia has many fresh lakes where one can fish, undertake water activities or just sit and soak the sun. For those who are brave, one can visit Mtkvari river where there are rafting tours. A day spent in this part of the country is exhilarating to say the least.

Tbilisi is a city full of tradition and culture and one does not always have to leave town to enjoy the place. There are some great monuments and buildings to see like the Tsminda Sameba Cathedral, Bridge of Peace, National Botanical Garden of Georgia, the Narikala Fortress or use the aerial Tramway and get some breath taking views of the city. During the summer, the Mtatsminda Amusement park is open and you can get to sit on some thrilling but very scary rides.

During the winter season, most foreign students prefer to be indoors. However, winter is a favorite time for many Georgians as they love snow, skiing and snowboarding. You may also want to learn ice skating as there are many skating arenas all over the city.

The good thing about Tbilisi is that most of the recreational activities do not require much money and many sightseeing ventures are free. All you need is motivation. As long as you have good company, you can enjoy almost any activity in Tbilisi. When you are tired of recreation, you can always study or browse the internet.

What higher education means to Georgians

Georgia separated from the Soviet Union in 1991 and is now a member of the Council of Europe.

Till 2003 it was considered to be a mismanaged state – since then the country has made great strides at all levels, and many reforms have been made, specifically, in the Georgian education system. Today, education is mandatory for children ages 6-14. Once the students finish secondary school they have the option to undertake higher education. However, students must pass the Unified National Examinations before getting enrolled at state accredited education institutions. There is intense competition and seats are limited.

A degree program is usually 4-5 years and one may continue towards a masters degree (2 years) or a doctorate (3 years) program. Georgia has more than 20 higher education institutions that are accredited by the Ministry of Education & Science. Enrollment at all levels of higher education is one of the highest in Eurasia.

The main center for higher learning is Tbilisi, which is home to several major universities, of which the most well known is DavidTvildiani Medical University. Today this medical school is teaching syllabus based on USMLE Program which is known internationally. Other renowned universities in Tbilisi include Georgian Technical University, Caucasus University and Free University of Tbilisi.

During the Soviet era university education was not enforced and it was a privilege. Many older Georgians never received any university education but now that Georgia has become an independent country, it has heavily invested in education for younger people. With advances in technology permeating every facet of life, Georgians are fully aware that life without education is not an option. As Georgia starts to integrate with the Europe it is slowly changing its education curriculum so that it can bring it to the levels of the European standards - this also provides a major advantage for students as their education can be accepted anywhere in Europe, where they will be free to work.

Today, Georgia universities offer degrees in over 300 specialties. While most of these are in Georgian language, some universities like DTMU teach in English language only. The Georgian universities follow an academic calendar very similar to that of Europe, which starts in September and ends in June. There is a two month break for the summer. The Ministry of Education and Science is responsible for the universities and schools and ensures that there is a uniform curriculum in each of the colleges. Education at high school level is free but courses at colleges and universities are chargeable. However, the fees is much less than what is seen in the US or Europe. For students who excel, scholarships are provided.

Because of the solid education system, Georgia today attracts students from all over the world to train as scientists, engineers and doctors. Once the training is completed, these graduates are able to find jobs easily because of their training.
