<strong>Nepali students have been going to China to get a medical degree since long. Could you tell more about the latest trends?</strong></div>
<div>
China’s charm among MD students continues to be high as it does with hundreds of MBBS students. The number was high during 2004/05/06 and dropped in 2008/09/10 after fearing many complains due to poor results in Nepal’s Medical Council exams. Chinese Universities have lured Nepali students every now and then. As students with poor academic background enrolled for MBBS, the situation was depressing for a while, but this has improved recently. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>It is said that local medical graduates are more successful than those who graduated from other countries. Is this true?</strong></div>
<div>
This is not the case, actually. Students have to pass exams to enter the medical sector. Those who fail the exam are not allowed to practice medicine. Besides, quality cannot be measured in general. Rather, it depends upon the individual. In the past, a number of students studying medical science in China failed the exam and the perception in your question could be the consequence of this incident. However, there are several instances when the products of Chinese Universities have shown better performance when compared to others. It may be the case that those who perform well in a theoretical examination may not do well in a practical test.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Why are Nepali students willing to go to China to study medical science?</strong></div>
<div>
Compared to other countries, the fee for studying MBBS in China is less. In China, students can study MBBS for a very reasonable price. In Nepal, the MBBS course is very costly in comparison. On the contrary, even humanities and engineering courses are offered at a similar cost in China. A student can complete his/her course within NRs 2.5 million in China while in Nepal, it would cost around NRs 5 million. The cost of accommodation is also included in the mentioned price. However, the cost of the course varies between universities. Tough competition and increasing costs have also prompted them to opt for educational migration to China, along with affordable costs for study and accommodation.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>What challenges Nepali students face while studying in China?</strong></div>
<div>
Language is a major challenge for them. Although the academic language is English, knowing Chinese language is essential as well. It will be difficult for them to adjust in the environment otherwise. For instance, they need to use Chinese language while talking with patients. Similarly, students must evaluate themselves before opting for an MBBS degree. There could be various factors in judging the ability of a student. I would recommend students with poor academic background to not join the course. Nepali students wishing to go to China should do adequate research for ensuring a good decision in choosing a university, though there is less chance of being cheated.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>What about the trend among Nepali students in selecting courses?</strong></div>
<div>
The trend has changed as students now have started to pursue specialised courses and again, China is a major attraction among students for this. Due to the growing demand and competition, most students now prefer to pursue specialised medical degrees than a general one.</div>',

<div>
This is not the case, actually. Students have to pass exams to enter the medical sector. Those who fail the exam are not allowed to practice medicine. Besides, quality cannot be measured in general. Rather, it depends upon the individual. In the past, a number of students studying medical science in China failed the exam and the perception in your question could be the consequence of this incident.

<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Why are Nepali students willing to go to China to study medical science?</strong></div>
<div>
Compared to other countries, the fee for studying MBBS in China is less. In China, students can study MBBS for a very reasonable price. In Nepal, the MBBS course is very costly in comparison. On the contrary, even humanities and engineering courses are offered at a similar cost in China. A student can complete his/her course within NRs 2.5 million in China while in Nepal, it would cost around NRs 5 million. The cost of accommodation is also included in the mentioned price. However, the cost of the course varies between universities. Tough competition and increasing costs have also prompted them to opt for educational migration to China, along with affordable costs for study and accommodation.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>What challenges Nepali students face while studying in China?</strong></div>
<div>
Language is a major challenge for them. Although the academic language is English, knowing Chinese language is essential as well. It will be difficult for them to adjust in the environment otherwise. For instance, they need to use Chinese language while talking with patients. Similarly, students must evaluate themselves before opting for an MBBS degree. There could be various factors in judging the ability of a student. I would recommend students with poor academic background to not join the course. Nepali students wishing to go to China should do adequate research for ensuring a good decision in choosing a university, though there is less chance of being cheated.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>What about the trend among Nepali students in selecting courses?</strong></div>
<div>
The trend has changed as students now have started to pursue specialised courses and again, China is a major attraction among students for this. Due to the growing demand and competition, most students now prefer to pursue specialised medical degrees than a general one.</div>',

‘China’s Charm Among MD Students Continues To Be High’
3 min 36 sec to read
China, one of the most preferred destinations among the students of medical science, continues to remain so, say experts. About 200 students go to China for MBBS every year while few go for MD. Limited numbers of post-graduate seats and rising fees, among other reasons has been forcing students to migrate to China to pursue medical degrees.

About 200 students go to China for MBBS every year while few go for MD. Limited numbers of post-graduate seats and rising fees, among other reasons has been forcing students to migrate to China to pursue medical degrees. <strong>Dr Krishna P Adhikari</strong> is a visiting professor in the China Three Gorges University.

</div>
<div>
<strong>Nepali students have been going to China to get a medical degree since long. Could you tell more about the latest trends?</strong></div>
<div>
China’s charm among MD students continues to be high as it does with hundreds of MBBS students. The number was high during 2004/05/06 and dropped in 2008/09/10 after fearing many complains due to poor results in Nepal’s Medical Council exams. Chinese Universities have lured Nepali students every now and then. As students with poor academic background enrolled for MBBS, the situation was depressing for a while, but this has improved recently. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>It is said that local medical graduates are more successful than those who graduated from other countries. Is this true?</strong></div>
<div>
This is not the case, actually. Students have to pass exams to enter the medical sector. Those who fail the exam are not allowed to practice medicine. Besides, quality cannot be measured in general. Rather, it depends upon the individual. In the past, a number of students studying medical science in China failed the exam and the perception in your question could be the consequence of this incident. However, there are several instances when the products of Chinese Universities have shown better performance when compared to others. It may be the case that those who perform well in a theoretical examination may not do well in a practical test.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Why are Nepali students willing to go to China to study medical science?</strong></div>
<div>
Compared to other countries, the fee for studying MBBS in China is less. In China, students can study MBBS for a very reasonable price. In Nepal, the MBBS course is very costly in comparison. On the contrary, even humanities and engineering courses are offered at a similar cost in China. A student can complete his/her course within NRs 2.5 million in China while in Nepal, it would cost around NRs 5 million. The cost of accommodation is also included in the mentioned price. However, the cost of the course varies between universities. Tough competition and increasing costs have also prompted them to opt for educational migration to China, along with affordable costs for study and accommodation.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>What challenges Nepali students face while studying in China?</strong></div>
<div>
Language is a major challenge for them. Although the academic language is English, knowing Chinese language is essential as well. It will be difficult for them to adjust in the environment otherwise. For instance, they need to use Chinese language while talking with patients. Similarly, students must evaluate themselves before opting for an MBBS degree. There could be various factors in judging the ability of a student. I would recommend students with poor academic background to not join the course. Nepali students wishing to go to China should do adequate research for ensuring a good decision in choosing a university, though there is less chance of being cheated.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>What about the trend among Nepali students in selecting courses?</strong></div>
<div>
The trend has changed as students now have started to pursue specialised courses and again, China is a major attraction among students for this. Due to the growing demand and competition, most students now prefer to pursue specialised medical degrees than a general one.</div>',

About 200 students go to China for MBBS every year while few go for MD. Limited numbers of post-graduate seats and rising fees, among other reasons has been forcing students to migrate to China to pursue medical degrees. <strong>Dr Krishna P Adhikari</strong> is a visiting professor in the China Three Gorges University.

<div>
<strong>Nepali students have been going to China to get a medical degree since long. Could you tell more about the latest trends?</strong></div>
<div>
China’s charm among MD students continues to be high as it does with hundreds of MBBS students. The number was high during 2004/05/06 and dropped in 2008/09/10 after fearing many complains due to poor results in Nepal’s Medical Council exams. Chinese Universities have lured Nepali students every now and then. As students with poor academic background enrolled for MBBS, the situation was depressing for a while, but this has improved recently. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>It is said that local medical graduates are more successful than those who graduated from other countries. Is this true?</strong></div>
<div>
This is not the case, actually. Students have to pass exams to enter the medical sector. Those who fail the exam are not allowed to practice medicine. Besides, quality cannot be measured in general. Rather, it depends upon the individual. In the past, a number of students studying medical science in China failed the exam and the perception in your question could be the consequence of this incident. However, there are several instances when the products of Chinese Universities have shown better performance when compared to others. It may be the case that those who perform well in a theoretical examination may not do well in a practical test.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Why are Nepali students willing to go to China to study medical science?</strong></div>
<div>
Compared to other countries, the fee for studying MBBS in China is less. In China, students can study MBBS for a very reasonable price. In Nepal, the MBBS course is very costly in comparison. On the contrary, even humanities and engineering courses are offered at a similar cost in China. A student can complete his/her course within NRs 2.5 million in China while in Nepal, it would cost around NRs 5 million. The cost of accommodation is also included in the mentioned price. However, the cost of the course varies between universities. Tough competition and increasing costs have also prompted them to opt for educational migration to China, along with affordable costs for study and accommodation.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>What challenges Nepali students face while studying in China?</strong></div>
<div>
Language is a major challenge for them. Although the academic language is English, knowing Chinese language is essential as well. It will be difficult for them to adjust in the environment otherwise. For instance, they need to use Chinese language while talking with patients. Similarly, students must evaluate themselves before opting for an MBBS degree. There could be various factors in judging the ability of a student. I would recommend students with poor academic background to not join the course. Nepali students wishing to go to China should do adequate research for ensuring a good decision in choosing a university, though there is less chance of being cheated.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>What about the trend among Nepali students in selecting courses?</strong></div>
<div>
The trend has changed as students now have started to pursue specialised courses and again, China is a major attraction among students for this. Due to the growing demand and competition, most students now prefer to pursue specialised medical degrees than a general one.</div>',
