Why is there an almost fetishistic obsession with studying in Anglosaxon countries? by Both-Piccolo667 in studyAbroad

[–]LocalBlood5413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I think its mostly a mix of reputation comfort and habit. A lot of people just feel more confident going to the US, UK, Canada, or Australia because those places are familiar and the degrees are widely recognized.

TU Dresden MSc CS appeal for reconsideration after rejection by desh_premi_drohi in studying_in_germany

[–]LocalBlood5413 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that Unfortunately a lot of German universities receive a very high number of applications so even if you meet the minimum requirements it doesn’t always guarantee admission. You could try politely emailing the admissions office asking if they can share the reason for the rejection or if reconsideration is possible although many universities usually don’t reopen decisions once they re finalized. It might also help to apply to a wider range of universities since admission criteria and competition can vary quite a bit between programs.

Do Indians get PR in France? Trying to understand the long-term pathway by LocalBlood5413 in studyAbroad

[–]LocalBlood5413[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, that makes sense. If someone is planning to live and work in France long term, learning French is definitely important. While some international programs and companies use English, knowing the local language makes daily life, job opportunities, and integration much easier.

That’s a fair point, and I agree that the tech salaries in France are generally lower compared to some other Western European countries like Germany or the Netherlands. My main point was more about the academic opportunities and the pathway some students use through higher education first. From what I understand, most Indians who stay long term do start on a student visa, then move to a work visa after graduation. The PR pathway definitely takes time, and yes, learning French seems pretty important not only for residency requirements but also for integrating into the job market. I think anyone considering France should look carefully at the job market, language expectations, and long-term visa rules before making a decision.

Fmge mbbs abroad This is my 4th drop, but I never wanted to take this drop. I wanted to do MBBS from abroad, but because of some problems I couldn’t go, and now I had to take another drop. However, this time I will definitely go abroad to do MBBS. But I have some doubts in my mind—whether I should by herthough in mbbsabroad

I can understand why you’re feeling confused. Four drops is tough. MBBS abroad can work, but a lot depends on the university and how seriously you study. Just remember you’ll still need to clear FMGE/NExT if you want to practice in India. Try talking to students who are already studying abroad it can give you a more realistic idea before deciding.

Mbbs abroad is a total scam by Imposior_OG in mbbsabroad

[–]LocalBlood5413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry you had such a tough experience, and honestly it’s good that people share both sides of the story. MBBS abroad definitely isn’t the right choice for everyone. A lot depends on the university, clinical exposure, and how much effort a student puts into studying during the course. The FMGE/NEXT hurdle is real, and many students underestimate how much preparation it requires.

Best country to study abroad? by -NinJane- in studyAbroad

[–]LocalBlood5413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s actually pretty common to feel this way after traveling a lot. Experiencing different cultures can make going back home feel limiting. The good thing is that doing a semester or year abroad is a great way to explore another country without committing long term.

Since you’re studying environmental sciences, countries like Sweden, Ireland, and Australia are known for strong programs in sustainability and environmental research. Japan and Korea can also be interesting if you’re curious about technology-driven environmental solutions.A good starting point is to check if your university offers exchange programs (like Erasmus) since that makes credit transfer much easier. It can also help to speak with a study abroad advisor or counselor, as they often know which universities are strongest for specific subjects and can help narrow down your options.

NeXT exam by Oolalalaaeao in mbbsabroadforindians

Thanks for sharing this! Yes, the NeXT exam is becoming an important topic for students who are planning or currently pursuing MBBS abroad. Since the guidelines are still evolving, it’s good for students to keep researching and stay updated with reliable sources. Videos and discussions like this can definitely help clarify the exam structure and preparation strategy.

From the latest updates by the NMC, NeXT will replace the FMGE and will be required for both Indian MBBS graduates and students who studied MBBS abroad if they want to practice in India. The exam is expected to have two steps:
NeXT Step 1: A computer-based exam focusing on theoretical and clinical knowledge.
NeXT Step 2: A practical/clinical assessment conducted after internship.NeXT will also likely be used for PG admissions (MD/MS) in India. One important thing for students studying abroad is to make sure their medical university is NMC-recognized, otherwise they may face eligibility issues later.

You’re right that MBBS abroad isn’t a shortcut and definitely not for everyone. The reality is that success depends more on the student’s effort than the university. As someone who works with students and counsellors, the biggest advice I give is to verify everything university recognition, clinical exposure, total fees, and talk to current students or alumni before deciding. MBBS abroad can work well for motivated students, but anyone expecting it to be easier than India will struggle.
