State or private: which is better for Indian students?
State universities offer large hospitals and long traditions. Private universities often have newer buildings, smaller groups and more flexible schedules. Both can be excellent. What matters is that the programme meets the NMC rules for MBBS abroad and that you get enough hands-on clinical training. We check both with you before you apply.
