Hello,

Scoring 316 in NEET makes it quite hard to get a government seat in India, especially in MBBS. Private colleges are very costly, so many students look at options like Nepal.

Studying MBBS in Nepal is not a bad option. The syllabus is similar to India, the language used is mostly English, and the culture is also quite close to India. Many Indian students go there every year.

But before deciding, think about these points:

  • Do you want to drop a year and try again? If you are confident and ready to work hard, you can give NEET one more try.

  • Can your family afford Nepal MBBS fees? MBBS in Nepal is cheaper than private colleges in India but still costs a good amount.

  • Are the colleges in Nepal recognised by NMC (India)? Only choose NMC-approved colleges, or your degree won't be valid in India.

So, yes, going to Nepal is not a bad decision, but dropping a year is also an option if you are serious about improving your NEET score.

Hope it helps !

Your NEET Score: 316

Too low for govt. MBBS in India.

Private MBBS = very expensive.

Drop = Good only if you can score 450+ next time with full focus.
