Every year, I meet hundreds of bright students who dream of becoming doctors. They work hard, sacrifice their teenage years, and pour everything into preparing for NEET. Yet, many end up disappointed — not because they’re not capable, but because our system gives them limited chances.
Hi, I’m Divya Senthamizh, and I’ve helped hundreds of students like you and your parents understand that there’s life beyond NEET results in India. That’s why today, I want to speak to you not just as a consultant, but as a mentor — someone who has guided many students towards a medical future in Vietnam.
If you’re wondering why MBBS in Vietnam is getting popular and whether it’s the right choice for you, this blog will give you all the answers.
1. The Harsh Reality of NEET in India
Let’s be honest. NEET is a tough exam — not just because of the syllabus, but because of the sheer competition. More than 20 lakh students appear every year, and less than 6% get a government medical seat.
What about private colleges? Many charge over ₹70–₹90 lakhs. And even then, seats are limited, and quality varies.
Is this the only way to become a doctor? No.
2. Why Many Students Are Turning to Abroad Options
This is where I started helping students look beyond borders. Countries like Russia, Ukraine, Philippines, and China have been popular. But in recent years, Vietnam has emerged as a hidden gem for Indian MBBS aspirants.
And unlike some countries, Vietnam is not just affordable — it is reliable, safe, and educationally strong.
3. Why MBBS in Vietnam is the Right Choice
Now to the main point — why MBBS in Vietnam?
Here’s why I recommend it to every deserving student:
- Affordable cost (₹25–₹30 lakhs total)
- No donation or capitation
- NMC-approved universities
- Medium of instruction: English
- Safe and student-friendly culture
- Similar weather and food availability
4. What Makes Vietnam Stand Out from Other Countries?
Many parents ask me — “Why not China or Russia?”
Here’s my answer: Vietnam is more culturally close to India, has less language barrier, and is easier for parents to visit. Also, Vietnam didn’t get affected by war like Ukraine, and it’s much more politically stable.
5. Affordability Without Compromise
Here’s a simple breakdown I always share with parents:
- Tuition Fees: ₹3.5–₹4.5 lakhs/year
- Hostel & Food: ₹10,000–₹15,000/month
- No donation
- No entrance exam (after NEET qualification)
Many of my students complete their entire MBBS in Vietnam for less than half the cost of a private MBBS in India.
6. Is the Degree Valid in India? Yes!
Yes, it absolutely is. The universities I work with in Vietnam are:
- Recognized by the National Medical Commission (NMC)
- Listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools
- WHO recognized
This means students can return to India and write the FMGE/NEXT exams, and become licensed doctors in India.
7. English-Medium Education: No Language Barriers
All medical education in Vietnam for international students is conducted in English. Basic Vietnamese is taught only to communicate during hospital rotations.
So there’s no need to worry about learning an entirely new language to study medicine.
8. Student-Friendly Culture & Safe Environment
Vietnam is one of the safest countries in Southeast Asia. The people are polite, respectful, and welcoming. Many Indian students say they feel less homesick here compared to other countries.
And yes — they love cricket too!
9. How I Help Parents Feel Confident About This Decision
As a parent, it’s natural to worry. I understand that deeply.
That’s why I personally ensure:
- Transparent communication
- Direct contact with current students
- Complete support for admission, visa, and travel
- Weekly updates even after the student lands
My goal is to make this journey smooth for the entire family, not just the student.
10. What Makes My Vietnam Admission Support Unique
Here’s what you get when you choose to apply through me, Divya Senthamizh:
- One-on-one guidance
- No middlemen – direct university tie-ups
- Help with documentation, visa, and air travel
- Airport pickup, hostel check-in and onboarding support
- Parent counselling sessions before and after admission
This is not just my job — this is my commitment.
11. Campus Life: A Peek Into Student Life in Vietnam
Our students study at universities with:
- Modern classrooms
- Attached hospitals for practicals
- Indian food messes
- Indian student communities
- Regular cultural and sports events
It’s not just about getting a degree. It’s about growing into a responsible doctor.
12. Indian Food, Festivals & A Sense of Home
No, you won’t miss home food!
- Indian mess facilities available
- South Indian, North Indian meals
- Celebrations for Diwali, Pongal, Onam, Holi
- Indian grocery stores nearby
Students even cook together during weekends. It becomes a second family.

14. What I’ve Seen: Success Stories from My Students
One student from Coimbatore, after three failed NEET attempts, came to me heartbroken. Today, she is in her 3rd year in Vietnam, topping her batch.
Another boy from Assam wanted to quit medicine because of financial pressure. Now, his parents are proud seeing his photos in hospital rounds in Vietnam.
These are real stories — and I’m proud to be part of them.
15. Final Advice to Students & Parents
