Getting a visa for Kyrgyzstan is the easiest among all the other countries for MBBS abroad as there are very few formalities and the student will not have to appear for any visa interview. The visa can also get issued in a few days when we have to do last minute admissions. In contrast, getting a visa for China, Ukraine, the Philippines, and Georgia is not at all easy. It is easier for parents to get a visa too as E-visa facility is available.
You don’t have to sit for an entrance exam to get admission in Kyrgyzstan. Below is MBBS in Kyrgyzstan eligibility criteria:
There is no entrance exam like Bangladesh.
The student must be 17 years plus as on 31st December of the year in which the admission is being taken.
The student must have completed class 12th from a regular board.
The student must have an aggregate of at least 50% in Physics, Chemistry and Biology and must have English as a compulsory subject if the student is from the General category.
Since getting a visa is easy and the travel distance is very less, the parents of the students can easily travel to Kyrgyzstan if they wish to meet their ward and check his progress, wellbeing and studies. As of now, the e-visa facility is available for the parents.
Kyrgyzstan is one of the few countries where there is a separate hostel facility for girls. Most European universities do not provide this facility as most have separate floors for female students. However, most colleges in Kyrgyzstan provide separate hostels to foreign female students. The hostels are well guarded and there, have CCTV installed and have warden to keep a strict check on the students.
Unlike most of the universities in Russia and China, all the universities in Kyrgyzstan teach the students in English medium. This benefits the students as there is no bilingual course. Some colleges even provide English classes to students who are weak in the language. The entire 5-year course is in English medium.
Students are divided into groups of about 15 students. This ensures that students get individual attention. This is opposite to the education system in Bangladesh where the classes are overloaded. The lectures include 3-4 groups and only 1 group goes for clinical/practical at a time.
A very important thing to keep in mind before going for MBBS abroad is whether a university is recognized by BMDC or not. However, this factor ranks low as most students already know about this. All the universities where we provides admission is recognized by BMDC. Due to its high recognition and approval by the university, the degree is recognized all over the world which further makes it easier for the students to get a place anywhere across the Globe.
This topic was slightly touched upon before. All the students who go for MBBS abroad are provided with hostel facility. Students get fully furnished rooms, hot water supply, internal heating, etc., all provided by the college itself. Moreover, the yearly cost of staying at the hostel is approx. BDT 40,000-50,000 only in general.
The least amount of fuss for getting admission abroad is for Kyrgyzstan. The admission process is very simple and documentation is less. Also, as mentioned before, getting a visa is very easy.

Disadvantages of MBBS in Kyrgyzstan
MBBS in Kyrgyzstan was amongst the top two choices of Bangladeshi students along with MBBS in China. The main reason why so many students are choosing this country is the low budget. If you are looking for ‘cheap and best’ option for MBBS abroad, then Kyrgyzstan is the answer. However, most students often ignore the disadvantages of MBBS in Kyrgyzstan.
Following are the disadvantages of MBBS in Kyrgyzstan:
Let’s face it, cheap and best don’t go hand in hand always. The quality of education in most universities is average at best. Since the tuition fee is very low, you cannot expect to have the same quality of education as European countries.
The biggest problem in Kyrgyzstan in language, since there is only two main languages spoken and they are Russian and Kyrgyz, so it is quite difficult for foreign students. But as teaching language for foreign students is totally English, so it doesn’t affect to the study.
The weather in Kyrgyzstan won’t suit everyone. The temperature will fall below zero degrees for about 3 months every year. Snowfall is common in the months of December to February. In some cases, students find it difficult to settle down in Kyrgyzstan due to the cold weather.
Selecting the right consultancy is very important. The biggest problem that students face is getting the wrong information about fees, cost, and budget from agents. All the students and their parents should contact CPI Educational Advisor for the best guidance.
