Why students talk to us
Guidance that does not cost you anything
We are medical students, not agents. Here is exactly what that means for you and your family.
₹0 consultancy fee
We do not charge students a consultancy fee for our guidance. Not at enquiry, not at admission, not later.
₹0 documentation fee
No separate documentation charge from our side. We will help you understand what each college asks for.
No hidden charges
We separate our guidance (free) from official third-party costs (payable) so nothing surprises you later.
Why consider Bangladesh
Why do Indian students consider MBBS in Bangladesh?
These are the reasons students most often give us. Whether they apply to you depends on your marks, your budget and the specific college — so treat this as a starting point for a conversation, not a recommendation.
English-medium course
MBBS in Bangladesh is taught and examined in English. Learning conversational Bengali still helps a great deal during clinical postings.
Familiar academic pattern
The course structure — pre-clinical, para-clinical and clinical years followed by a compulsory internship — will feel broadly familiar to Indian students.
Close to home
Bangladesh is a short flight from several Indian cities, and travel is generally simpler than more distant study destinations.
Cultural familiarity
Food, festivals, climate and daily life have a lot in common with eastern India, which many students find makes settling in easier.
Clinical exposure
Teaching hospitals in Bangladesh generally see high patient volumes. How much hands-on exposure you get varies by college — ask current students.
An existing Indian community
Many colleges already have Indian students, so there is usually a senior batch to ask about hostels, food and study material.
Cost can be lower
Depending on the college, total cost can work out lower than some private MBBS options in India. Compare the full six-year cost, not just first-year tuition.
A range of colleges
There are government and private medical colleges across Dhaka, Gazipur, Chattogram, Sylhet, Rajshahi, Khulna and other districts.
A student-friendly setting
Most cities with medical colleges have established student areas, though facilities and safety vary — which is why the specific college matters more than the country.
An honest caveat
Studying medicine abroad is not the right choice for everyone. Indian regulations require you to clear a screening examination before you can practise in India, and recognition rules can change. Read our NMC guidelines and FMGE / NExT pages before you decide anything.
What makes us different
What we do — and what we will never do
Transparency is easier to demonstrate than to claim, so here it is in plain terms.
What we do
- Explain eligibility honestly, based on your actual NEET score and Class 12 marks
- Help you shortlist colleges and understand what separates one from another
- Share the current official fee circular for the colleges you are considering
- Explain the admission steps, documents and realistic timelines
- Connect you with students who are studying there right now
- Tell you when we think MBBS abroad is not the right fit for you
What we will not do
- Promise admission, a visa, a seat or an exam result — nobody can
- Publish invented fee figures that look precise but are out of date
- Show fake testimonials, stock photos of students, or made-up ratings
- Claim recognition status for a college without a verifiable source
- Ask you to upload your passport or marksheets to an unsecured form
- Charge you a consultancy fee or a documentation fee

Talk to someone who is actually studying medicine
When you are choosing where to spend the next six years of your life, the most useful person to speak to is not a salesperson. It is someone who sat the same exam, filled the same forms and now walks those wards every morning.
We started MBBSinDhaka.in because juniors and their parents kept asking us the same questions — and because the answers they were getting elsewhere were often vague, outdated, or shaped by a commission. So we decided to answer them properly, in public, for free.
- Ask what the first year is really like, not what a brochure says
- Ask about hostel food, room sharing, safety and travel to the hospital
- Ask what students in that college say about attendance, exams and internship
- Ask what you would do differently if you were starting again
MBBS in Dhaka
Why so many students start their search in Dhaka
Dhaka is the capital of Bangladesh and the centre of its medical education system. It is not automatically the right choice — but it is the right place to understand the landscape.
Concentration of teaching hospitals
Dhaka has a high density of medical colleges and large teaching hospitals, which is why the city dominates most college shortlists.
Established student community
Colleges in and around Dhaka usually have Indian students across several batches, which makes the first few months easier.
Connectivity
Dhaka has the country’s main international airport and good onward links, which matters when you travel home during breaks.
Hostel options
Most colleges provide hostels for international students. Distance between hostel, college and hospital varies a lot — always ask.
Cost is generally higher
Living costs in central Dhaka are usually higher than in smaller cities. Colleges in Gazipur, Savar or other districts can work out cheaper.
Nearby districts count too
Savar, Gazipur and other areas around Dhaka keep you close to the capital with a quieter, often less expensive campus setting.
Quick eligibility snapshot
Do I meet the basic requirements?
- Passed Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, Biology / Biotechnology and English
- Meet the minimum aggregate in the science subjects (differs by category)
- Qualified NEET-UG — required for Indian students who intend to practise in India
- Will have completed 17 years of age by the cut-off for the admission year
- Hold a valid passport, or have applied for one
Colleges in Bangladesh also apply their own academic criteria for international applicants, which can be stricter than the minimum.
Eligibility
Find out where you actually stand — in one message
Most students who write to us are not sure whether they qualify at all. Send us your NEET score and your Class 12 marks, and we will tell you honestly what is realistic.
If you do not qualify, we will say so. If a different path suits you better, we will say that too. We would rather lose an enquiry than push a student towards a decision that does not fit.
Rules change — check the current position
Admission eligibility can change according to current Bangladeshi and Indian regulations. Always verify the latest requirements before applying.
Admission journey
How the admission process actually works
Ten stages, in the order they happen. Timelines shift from session to session — this is the shape of the journey, not a calendar.
-
Step 1 Understand your eligibility
Check your NEET status, Class 12 subjects and marks, and age against current requirements before anything else.
-
Step 2 Shortlist colleges
Narrow down by city, college type, hostel arrangement and total realistic cost — not by whichever name you heard first.
-
Step 3 Compare fees and facilities
Look at the full six-year cost, the attached hospital, hostel distance and how the college supports international students.
-
Step 4 Prepare your documents
Marksheets, NEET scorecard, passport, photographs and anything else the college specifies for the current session.
-
Step 5 Submit your application
Apply through the college’s official process for international students, within its published window.
-
Step 6 Receive admission information
If an offer is made, read exactly what it covers, what it costs and what the deadlines are before responding.
-
Step 7 Complete required formalities
Verification, attestation and any clearances the college or authorities require for the current session.
-
Step 8 Visa process
Apply for the student visa with the documents specified by the authorities. Timelines are outside anyone’s control — start early.
-
Step 9 Travel to Bangladesh
Plan travel, currency, SIM, and your first week’s arrangements. Seniors at the college are usually the best source here.
-
Step 10 Join the college
Registration, hostel allotment, orientation — and then the part you actually came for.

Fees & costs
What actually goes into the total cost
We do not publish invented numbers. What we can do is show you every cost category, so nothing appears out of nowhere in year three.

Fees are subject to change
Always verify the latest official college fee circular before making any payment. If a figure you have been quoted does not appear on an official document, treat it as unconfirmed.
Student life
The part nobody explains before you land
Academics are only half of it. These are the questions students actually message us about in their first month.
Hostel & rooms
Sharing arrangements, warden rules, laundry, water and how far the hostel is from the hospital.
Food
Mess food is close to eastern Indian cuisine. Vegetarian options exist but need planning — ask before you commit.
Getting around
Rickshaws, buses and ride apps. Most students live close enough to walk or take a short ride to college.
Staying connected
Local SIM, data plans, and how students usually call home. Sort this out in your first week.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
The questions students and parents ask us most. There are many more on the full FAQ page.
It can be a reasonable option for some students, and a poor fit for others. Bangladesh runs its MBBS course in English, follows a broadly similar academic pattern to India, and is geographically close — which many Indian families find reassuring. But the right answer depends on your NEET score, your budget, your comfort with living abroad, and what you plan to do after the degree.
We would rather help you compare it honestly against your other options than tell you it is right for everyone.
For Indian students, NEET is central. Under the National Medical Commission's regulations for foreign medical graduates, an Indian student who wants to study medicine abroad and later obtain a licence to practise in India is required to have qualified NEET-UG. Bangladeshi authorities also apply their own academic criteria for international applicants.
Because these rules are updated from time to time, please confirm the current NEET and eligibility-certificate requirements before you apply.
The MBBS course in Bangladesh is normally five years of academic study followed by a one-year compulsory internship — six years in total. The internship is an important detail for Indian students, because Indian regulations expect the internship to be completed in the same institution where the course was studied.
MBBS in Bangladesh is taught in English. Textbooks, lectures and examinations are in English. Learning some conversational Bengali is still very useful, because you will be taking patient histories in wards where many patients speak Bengali. Most Indian students pick up enough within the first year.
Fees vary a great deal between government and private colleges, and between individual private colleges. We deliberately do not publish a single headline number, because circulating outdated or guessed figures is one of the most common ways students end up misinformed.
What we will do is share the current official fee circular for the specific colleges you are interested in, and explain what is included and what is not. Message us on WhatsApp and ask for the colleges you are considering.
Typically: your Class 10 marksheet and certificate, your Class 12 marksheet and certificate, your NEET scorecard, a valid passport, passport-size photographs, and a birth certificate. Some colleges also ask for a medical fitness report, a migration or transfer certificate, and an eligibility certificate.
Exact requirements vary by college and by the current admission rules, so always work from the checklist the college itself publishes for the session you are applying to.
In outline: you confirm your eligibility, shortlist colleges, compare fees and facilities, prepare your documents, submit applications, and — if you receive an offer — complete the required formalities, apply for a student visa, and travel to join the college.
Each college publishes its own timeline and requirements, and dates shift from session to session. Our admission process page walks through each stage in detail.
