Because of the increased rivalry in the medical industry in India, many Indian students are looking for MBBS possibilities abroad. Every year, hundreds of Indian medical students study MBBS at overseas medical universities/institutions. However, many Indian students studying in medical universities in Ukraine and other foreign countries are now pursuing university admission to Indian medical colleges to finish their medical degrees.
