Most of people have a doubt whether the MD degree which is equivalent to MBBS is valid in India or not. There are so many students from India who are pursuing MD (Doctor of Medicine) and make no mistake the certificate is absolutely valid in India. This MD is equivalent to the MBBS course in India and students can set up their own medical practice after passing the FMGE (Foreign Medical Graduate Exam). This FMGE is a screening test and the doctors can setup their own medical practice or do their post-graduation after cracking this test.

More than 10,000 international students get themselves enrolled in Philippines for MD and half of them are from India. The main reason Indian students prefer to dot their MD in Philippines is because of the quality of education and affordable Philippines medical college fees. It sends some thousands of doctors every year to western countries like UK, US and many more countries. There are a total of 40 medical colleges and 2299 higher educational institutions in Philippines.

One student can complete his or her entire course including students’ monthly expenses come around 20 lakhs and even less than that in some cases. In India, students have to pay a minimum of 30 lakhs for the same. This is the reason why most of middle-class families opt to send their kids to the Philippines for education rather than India.
