Given that the NEET 2021 cutoff for medical admissions is expected to remain more or less the same as last year, many students have chosen to study MBBS in Russia, Ukraine, Malaysia, Uzbekistan, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Nepal and Georgia.

Over the years, study destinations for medicine like China and Russia have seen a large number of students from the state. However, China is still yet to begin admitting foreign students and Russia has already closed admissions.
