There are a lot of Eastern European, South American and Asian countries, such as Armenia, Ukraine, Georgia, Lithuania, Azerbaijan, Moldova, China, Philippines, Kyrgyzstan, which have been alternative places to study MBBS abroad. Indian students have been going to these destinations for decades now, and making successful medical careers. However, Europe has always been a favorite of Indian students, mostly because of the diplomatic relations that support both countries. In 90 years, Europe has been a favorite destination for MBBS programs, of course, specifically for Indian students, who often traveled to Europe in large quantities. Therefore, the teaching methods and curriculum caught up with Western countries, but after the introduction of the Medical Council of India (MCI) screening test in 2004, the number of students going to the MBBS course abroad has dropped dramatically. Now the number of students has begun to grow again. In Europe, it has about 8,500 Indian students, 80% of whom are medical students.
