Medical education in China underwent significant changes in 2006 when the Chinese Government initiated the admission of international students to English-taught programs offered by Chinese medical universities. Since then, pursuing an MBBS degree in China has become a viable option for students, particularly Indian students who have increasingly favored this choice since 2013. To ensure quality education, specific quotas are allocated to selected medical schools in China for admitting international students into these English-taught programs. While other Chinese medical universities are not restricted from enrolling international students, they are required by the government to offer medical programs in Chinese. This has led to a challenge where many agents were sending Indian students to China for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) programs without adequate information. Historically, the US and UK have been the top choices for higher education, boasting prestigious institutions like Harvard, Oxford, MIT, and Cambridge. However, the educational landscape has shifted, with Asia, particularly China, emerging as a formidable competitor. In the 2021 CWTS Leiden Ranking, China achieved a significant milestone by surpassing the US in the number of universities featured in the ranking for the first time. Moreover, China became the fourth-largest destination for international students globally in the same year, with over 450,000 international students. By 2024, this number had risen to 530,000. For those interested in studying medicine, the question arises: is pursuing an MBBS in China worth it for international students? They often seek the best medical universities in China. However, since 2018, the government has restricted admission to only 45 MBBS universities in China for international students.
