Study MBBS in Bangladesh
Connecting Indian Students with Quality, Affordable Medical Education
Why Choose Bangladesh for MBBS?
Bangladesh has rapidly emerged as the top destination for Indian medical aspirants due to its high quality of education, affordability, and close ties to India.
NMC Approved & WHO Recognized
Medical colleges in Bangladesh are approved by the National Medical Commission (NMC) of India and listed in the WHO Directory. Graduates are eligible to appear for the NEXT / FMGE exam to practice in India, as well as exams like USMLE and PLAB.
Identical Syllabus & Textbooks
The medical curriculum in Bangladesh is based on the British/Indian model. Students study from the exact same authors and textbooks (e.g., BD Chaurasia, K Park, Guyton) used in Indian medical colleges, preparing them perfectly for FMGE/NEXT exams.
Identical Clinical Conditions
Because India and Bangladesh share the same tropical climate, geographical features, and demographics, the spectrum of diseases, patient complaints, and treatments are identical. Students gain practical clinical experience that is 100% relevant to practicing in India.
No Language Barrier
The entire medium of instruction, including lectures, exams, and textbooks, is English. Additionally, the local language is Bengali, which is a major Indian language and is extremely easy to adapt to for patients' interactions.
Affordable & Feasible Cost
Studying MBBS in Bangladesh is highly cost-effective compared to private medical seats in India. The entire 5-year course package ranges between $35,000 and $45,000 (roughly ₹30L to ₹38L) which includes tuition fee, clinical lab fees, and standard hostel accommodation.
Geographical Proximity & Safety
Bangladesh is a close neighbour. Travel is easy, cheap, and fast via regular direct flights or trains (Maitree Express). The cultural, religious, and food habits are highly similar, ensuring that students feel safe and adapt to the hostel ecosystem seamlessly.
Important Notice for Parents
Unlike European or Central Asian medical colleges, Bangladesh has a strict rule regarding the validity of high school gaps. Only students who have passed their 12th (HSC) board exams in the current year or the immediate previous year are eligible to apply. This ensures a younger, focused, and academically consistent student environment.

Maiti Mercantile holds official written authorizations from leading medical institutions, ensuring direct, transparent, and legally verified admission pathways for international students.
