If you are an Indian student applying to pursue MBBS in Malaysia, studying medicine in Malaysia is the most excellent option for students from India. There are many reasons why an Indian student should choose Malaysia to study MBBS. Malaysia is an Asian country that can reach India in 4 hours 30 minutes and you can reach the medical university in another 40 to 45 minutes from the airport. This Asian country is very close to India and its parents are very easy to get a visa for education and to visit students. A flight ticket from Malaysia to Indian is very cheap so students and parents can travel frequently during the holiday and other occasions. Another reason to choose to study MBBS in Malaysia is that the University of Malaysia has extensive luxury infrastructure and hostel amenities. The MBBS curriculum is similar to the US (United States) curriculum in which Malaysian universities allow international students to pass the USML (United States Munitions List) and MCI (Medical Council of India) exams after graduation. About 40% of Malaysians speak the Tamil language, which is another reason why large numbers of students choose to study MBBS in Malaysia, especially students from Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
