Every year, thousands of students from Patna — from Boring Road coaching centres, CBSE schools in Patliputra Colony, Bihar Board schools in Phulwari Sharif, and private institutes in Rajendra Nagar and Kankarbagh — qualify NEET. But Patna's government MBBS seats (PMCH, NMCH, IGIMS, AIIMS Patna) are among the most competitive in India. The majority of Patna's NEET qualifiers do not get government seats.
The alternative: MBBS at an NMC-approved university abroad for ₹22–40 Lakhs total — no donation, no capitation, full English medium. VedKris Edu has guided Patna students through this process from application to arrival, and this guide explains exactly what the process looks like for a Patna student in 2026-27.
Why Patna Students Choose MBBS Abroad
| Option | Approximate Total Cost | Donation Required |
|---|---|---|
| PMCH / NMCH / IGIMS Patna (Government) | ₹3–8 Lakhs | None (NEET rank required) |
| AIIMS Patna | ₹5–10 Lakhs | None (very high NEET rank) |
| Private Medical College in Bihar (Management) | ₹80 L–1.2 Crore | ₹30–60 Lakhs extra |
| Private Medical College outside Bihar (Management) | ₹70 L–1.5 Crore | ₹25–80 Lakhs extra |
| MBBS in Russia / Georgia / Kazakhstan | ₹22–40 Lakhs (all-in) | Zero |
