Frequently Asked Question MBBS China Basic Questions
Is Admission to MBBS in China Direct? Or I have to appear in an Entrance Exam?
All admissions in China for international students are direct. So far, NO Entrance test required. But all Universities have the least percentage rule, like 50%, 60% or 70% in PCB and English. All admissions are based on:
- When a student has applied,
- Percentage in 12 Board required for Eligibility is there.
- So earlier you apply, better is your chance of admission.
But few Universities will take the interview over the phone or Skype. This is to judge the English speaking power of the student before granting admission.
Some Universities will check NEET marks too. If you get more than 200 in NEET, then you will get more choices of Universities.
Is NEET required to take MBBS admission in China?
Yes, NEET qualification is required for MBBS admission in China and all other countries. From 1st June 2018 onwards, you must qualify for the NEET exam. It is needed to become eligible to work as a doctor in India.
- NEET results will remain valid for 3 consecutive years.
- That means if you qualified in NEET in 2018, then you can take admission abroad till 2020.
- But admission has to be in proper MBBS or equivalent course.
Call us to know the rule as only for the Philippines you may face problems in the future if you are not clear about this rule.
In the Philippines, Central & South America, students get admission in Pre-Medical or BS. After 24 months, you have to qualify NMAT in the Philippines. NMAT is the medical entrance test in the Philippines. Only after that, you will get admission to the medical course. So if you can not qualify NMAT after 24 months, your 3 years NEET qualification is invalid. Call Omkar Medicom to know better about this aspect.
In 2018 NEET qualifying marks were 96 for SC/ST/OBC and 119 for general or open case category out of total 720 marks.
If I do not qualify NEET, but wish to take admission in China. Will it be possible?
No, you will not get admission in any University in China without qualifying NEET. But we can admit you to some Universities in other countries. But if you take admission without qualifying NEET, then you can not work in India as a doctor. However, you can work in all other countries.
Which is the best time to apply for China MBBS?
The best time to apply is January to March end of the year of admission. All seats will usually be exhausted by that time. So apply before this time to get confirmed admission in China. If Omkar Medicom accepts your Application, then be 100% sure about your admission.
For other Countries, you will get time till June end.
I will be appearing in 10+2 exam this year. Can I take Admission before getting the mark sheets?
Yes, you can always book your seat based on 10 mark sheets and paying the Booking amount. Students who book their seats through Omkar Medicom will get 100% admission in China.
I do not have a passport. Can I apply now?
Yes, you can apply without a passport. But you must apply for it as soon as possible. We will need your passport before June end to make the necessary papers. However, some Universities will not accept an application without a passport.
I am already 10+2 passed out. I got 70% in PCBE. Can I get confirmed Admission in my choice of university?
Yes, you can get confirmed admission in your choice of University in that case. But you must apply immediately before all seats in that University are filled up. For some Universities, State Board 70% not accepted. Only CBSE accepted. For some Universities, minimum NEET marks eligibility applies.
I got only 50% in PCB & English. Can I get confirmed Admission in China?
Yes, you can get confirmed admission in that case. Many universities in China do not check Class 12 board marks. But you must qualify in NEET.
Those Universities admit only NEET qualified students. Only Omkar Medicom has 5-6 Universities, which accept a few students will low marks. But you must apply immediately before that quota finishes.
I am appearing in NEET exam this year. Can I wait for the result to come in June and then apply for MBBS in China?
Sorry !!! If you wait for your NEET result, then you will not get admission in China. No seat will remain vacant by that time.
But we can admit you to other countries like Russia, Kyrgyz, Ukraine or the Philippines and Bangladesh.
But in China, it is impossible so late.
After NEET results, you will not get any seat vacant in China.
Ok, I will book my seat for China MBBS. But if I get admission in India, will you refund my Application amount?
Yes, for most of the Universities, we will refund your application money within a stipulated time. You will send us your Admission letter and Fee payment receipt of that Medical College in India. But we can't refund if you book for Zhejiang University, Nanjing Medical University.
Please note, any University fees paid by that time, direct to University by you, can't be refunded. Fees paid directly to University are always non-refundable under any circumstances. That is why, in general, University fees are taken in June end. By that time, you will be sure about your status of Admission in India.
If I fail in the 10+2 exam or can't secure the minimum % required, will you refund my Application amount?
We can't refund Application or Booking money if you fail in the 10+2 exam.
However, if your choice of university deny admission because the percentage is low, then:
We will get your admission done in any other MCI approved college. So far, all students who have booked through us has got admission.
But if you fail in 10+2, then we are helpless.
Suppose I fail in the coming NEET. In that case will you refund the Application amount if I do not want to take admission this year?
We will refund the Application or Booking money if you fail in NEET. And you want to drop your admission (except for two universities in China).
However, if any money transferred directly to University Bank account by you, is non-refundable.
Ok, I will book my seat now and pay the Application amount. But I will wait till the final counseling in India and decide the rest. Will it be possible?
Yes, you can wait till August middle. But cases will be different from University to University:
- 6-7 UNIVERSITIES IN CHINA: For 6-7 Universities, you must pay the non-refundable fees after the Acceptance Letter. Otherwise, the University will cancel your admission and will not refund the application amount. University will take a new student from their waiting list in that case.
- SOME OTHER UNIVERSITIES: Pay the Application amount, get admission letter, and wait till August middle. Check the status of your admission possibilities in India. Then either forgo the admission or pay the balance payment required.
If you forgo your China admission, you will lose only the initial Application amount.
Frequently Asked Questions about MCI and NEXT
Is the MBBS course done in China approved by MCI?
Yes. MCI or Medical Council of India approved MBBS done in all our Universities in China. MCI has approved 45 universities in China. We do for 36 Universities out of these.
I have heard that MCI has an approved list of medical colleges on its website. Suppose I apply for one University, and MCI removes that University from their list later. What will happen then?
MCI usually make any addition or alteration, if any, in their list within March. Every year a new listing is not published. In the last few years, MCI edited the list once in 2017 and again in 2019.
We admit for those Universities, which are well established for many years. Those Universities will not go out of the list. Be sure about this. Most of our Universities are on the MCI list for more than 30 years.
Think of the worst if it happens. Then it will happen in March. So we will have enough time to accommodate you in another MCI APPROVED UNIVERSITY in the countries we do.
We are the only consultancy that admits to almost all countries.
So far in our history this incident happened only once for Russia. In 2017 MCI removed Kazan Federal University from the list. We shifted our 6 Kazan Federal students to Altai State Medical University. We did this before June that year.
What is MCI Screening Test?
MCI Screening test was the Licensing exam for students who have studied abroad.
But now the NEXT test will replace the MCI Screening test or FMGE. Now students studying in India will also clear this NEXT test. This rule applies to any college, government, or private and even in AIIMS.
Previous MCI Screening test was:
The MCI rule was that all students studying MBBS program from Abroad would clear FMGE. Then they can practice in India. They will appear for Screening Test after completion of their MBBS program. NBE conducts FMGE or Foreign Medical Graduate Examination. It was 300 marks, No negative marking MCQ test.
What happens if I fail to clear the MCI Test or NEXT?
If you do not pass the MCI test in one chance, you can appear any number of times. MCI passing varies from country to country. In recent times the entire scenario has changed. Please check the present situation given below:
- CHINA: In recent times, a student who passes MBBS from China will always clear the test. This is because of the high standard of medical education in China. After graduation, one can attempt any number of chances to pass the MCI screening exams. The exam is taken twice a year in June & December.
All Universities in China have comprehensive but optional coaching for MCI screening. We expect the students to clear the MCI / NEXT test easily. You must study appropriately according to the guidelines of the University. - PHILIPPINES, BANGLADESH: In recent times most MCI failures are from these countries. Plus from Georgia, Armenia, Central America. All the colleges in these countries are in the private sector. These countries lack the facilities of proper medical teaching.
