Expert Answers

How do I settle permanently in the USA from India after my MS or MBA?

Start with 1 year of OPT, extended to 3 years for STEM degrees, then win H-1B sponsorship through the annual lottery. For a green card, standard EB-2 and EB-3 routes face decades-long Indian backlogs, so target EB-1A, EB-1C via a multinational role, or an EB-2 National Interest Waiver.

Is the FMGE exam compulsory for Indian students who complete MBBS abroad?

Yes, FMGE is compulsory for practising medicine in India after a foreign MBBS, unless you are fully licensed in the USA, UK, Australia, Canada or New Zealand. You need 150 of 300 marks to pass, then a compulsory rotating internship. NExT, its planned replacement, stands deferred, so FMGE remains active.

Is doing MBBS abroad worth it for Indian students compared to studying medicine in India?

MBBS abroad is worth it if you cannot secure an Indian government seat and want to avoid the huge fees of private colleges. Countries like Russia, Georgia and Kazakhstan cost far less, but your degree only counts in India once you clear the NExT or FMGE licensing exam.
