Study in Kyrgyzstan
The shortest flight, the lowest cost of living, and 4,300 Indian students at JASU.
Kyrgyzstan has the lowest cost of living among the MBBS destinations on this site, a non-stop three-hour flight from Delhi, and the largest Indian student communities in Central Asia. JASU's 4,300 Indian students make cultural adaptation easy.
Advantages
- The cheapest overall cost in Central Asia
- 3 hours 10 minutes non-stop from Delhi to Bishkek
- 4,300+ Indian students at JASU
- Free FMGE coaching by Indian faculty at JASU
- Two intakes a year
Considerations
- The national FMGE average is low, so the choice of university matters
- A smaller country with less clinical variety
The considerations are the original site's own. A counsellor will add anything that has changed since. FMGE and NExT pass rates are as reported for each university at the time of writing. They describe past cohorts and are not a prediction of any individual result.
