List of Top Scholarships for MBBS Students 2022

The medical field is a popular choice among science students. Unfortunately, not all students get the opportunity to get a quality education. If you want to attend a private college, the expense of medical education is far more than any other degree.

In government colleges, the average cost of studying MBBS/BDS and other medical courses is around INR 10,000 to INR 30,000 per year. In India, the average cost of studying medicine in a private college is between INR 10 and INR 20 lakhs each year. One of the key reasons for the high fees in private colleges is the little number of seats available compared to the number of candidates taking the NEET Exam.

Students pursuing a medical degree frequently require financial assistance to cover their tuition expenses.

So, to help those students, some organizations come to assist financially poor students. Some of them are listed below.
