NEET 2026 results are expected in July 2026. For thousands of Indian students and their families, this is the most anxious moment of the year. If your child's score is not enough for a government medical college — or if you cannot afford the Rs 80 lakh to Rs 1.5 crore donation demanded by Indian private medical colleges — MBBS abroad is not just an option. It is the smartest decision you can make.
In my 10+ years of guiding students at Classic Immigration Solutions, I have personally helped more than 2,500 students and families navigate the MBBS abroad process. This guide contains everything I tell every parent who walks into our office at A-60 Sham Nagar, West Delhi — honest, clear and complete.
Every year, over 20 lakh students appear for NEET. Total government MBBS seats in India are approximately 1.1 lakh. That means nearly 19 lakh students do NOT get a government seat. The choice left is either a private college at enormous cost — or MBBS abroad.
