The admission process in Medical colleges in India is very competitive. Process is  extremely complex too and sometime ambiguous, especially when a candidate has relatively low score.

Looking at the WHO guidelines, there has to be 10 doctors for 10,000 people. Even if we include the in-active doctors, India has a ratio of 2.6 doctors per 10,000 people. In reality there is a stunning shortage of 3 lakh doctors in India. In China ratio of doctors is double compared to India and western countries have a healthy ratio of 20 per 10,000 people.

India educates 50,000 doctors through approximately 500+ medical colleges each year, but considering our population growth year on year, the gap between the supply and demand of medicine professional is increasing. But there is a serious shortage of Education Infrastructure and capacity which is constrained by government policies to create more doctors at a rapid pace.

Medical education system in India has largely been dominated by corporate houses political interests and corrupt black marketing channels which makes medical education very costly for an average student. A majority of medical colleges in India doesn’t have the basic infrastructure and specially the hospital which allows a student to do their practical training in spite of charging such hefty fees. 

This additional requirement of doctors has been partially fulfilled by the MBBS graduates from abroad for quite a long time. Over the past couple of years there has been an substantial increase of approximately of 15-20 percent in the number of students going abroad for studying medicine.
