Didn't Get a Seat in Uttar Pradesh? Consider MBBS Abroad
With only ~5,000 seats across 28 government and 40 private colleges, Uttar Pradesh counselling is highly competitive. MBBS abroad at NMC-approved universities offers quality medical education at Rs. 15-40L total — a fraction of Indian private college fees.
