    MBBS Abroad is a big decision and your success depends upon the honesty of your consultant. It is a long process starting from choosing the right college to reaching there at college door step and finally studying there for next 5-6 years. You are in a new country without many old friends.

At every step, it was useful for us to have our consultant who was only 20 minutes’ drive from our home.
