Advisory to Indian Students planning to pursue / pursuing medical education in the Philippines

It has been brought to the Embassy’s notice that medical colleges in the Philippines are admitting Indian students to BS and AB courses way beyond the number of MD seats (similar to our MBBS) available in the colleges. The Embassy would like to bring to the notice of students who enroll in BS / AB courses in these colleges that, as a result, many of them may not be able to gain admission to the MD course.

Students and parents are hereby advised to exercise caution, do due diligence and clarify before taking up admission in medical colleges in the Philippines.
