Fee Structure
In India, the average fee structure in Government college could be from INR 11,000 to INR 7.5 lakh (complete course). In private colleges, the fees could climb up to 20 lakhs to 1 crore. If the students have not got enough marks in the NEET exams and still want to study MBBS in India the only option for them is to study in a private college in India.

Cost of Living
The cost of living varies from country to country. In India, the average cost of living for a student could be around 20,000 Rupees per month. But in a foreign country the cost of living could vary from country to country. Countries like Kyrgyzstan the cost of living could be from 10,000-12,000 per month but for countries like Germany and the UK the cost of living could rise upto 70,000 to 80,000 in rupees per month.
