After MBBS: Your Career Paths
Graduates of Osh State University Medical Faculty are fully eligible to practice medicine in India after clearing the National Exit Test (NExT) which replaces the earlier FMGE screening test. Upon passing NExT, graduates must register with their respective State Medical Council which typically takes 2-3 months for document verification and processing. Starting salaries for medical officers in Indian government hospitals range from Rs.
60,000 to Rs. 80,000 monthly for freshers depending on the state, with regular increments and allowances pushing compensation higher. Private hospitals and corporate healthcare chains offer starting packages between Rs.
4. 5 Lakhs to Rs. 8 Lakhs annually for resident doctors.
Many graduates pursue postgraduate specialization through NEET-PG examination which opens doors to MD and MS programs in Indian medical colleges. Government medical colleges offer subsidized PG education while private medical colleges charge Rs. 25 Lakhs to Rs.
1. 5 Crores for three-year MD/MS programs depending on specialty and institution. Specialists earn significantly higher - consulting physicians in tier-2 cities earn Rs.
1. 5-3 Lakhs monthly while those in metro cities and super-specialists can earn Rs. 5-15 Lakhs monthly from combined hospital practice and private consultations.
Osh State Medical Faculty follows a curriculum that balances basic sciences with clinical training, and AV Global's supplementary NExT coaching from Year 3 onwards ensures students are thoroughly prepared for the clinical case-based questions that form the core of NExT examinations. Our structured revision modules and full-length simulation tests have helped numerous Osh State graduates clear NExT in their first attempt and begin successful medical careers in India.
Osh State University Medical Faculty holds ECFMG (Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates) eligibility, meaning graduates can pursue the USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Examination) pathway to practice in the United States. The process involves passing USMLE Step 1 (basic sciences), USMLE Step 2 CK (Clinical Knowledge), and USMLE Step 2 CS (Clinical Skills), followed by obtaining ECFMG certification. Students typically begin USMLE Step 1 preparation during Year 4 or 5, with many taking the exam after completing Year 5 or 6.
After ECFMG certification, graduates enter the residency match process through NRMP (National Resident Matching Program), competing for residency positions in US hospitals. The match process is highly competitive with approximately 60 percent match rate for international medical graduates. First-year resident doctors (interns) in the US earn between $55,000 and $70,000 annually depending on the hospital and city, with salaries increasing each year of residency.
After completing 3-7 years of residency training depending on specialty, doctors become attending physicians earning substantial salaries - primary care physicians earn $200,000-250,000 annually while specialists like cardiologists, gastroenterologists, and radiologists earn $300,000-500,000 or more annually. The total cost for USMLE exams including Step 1 ($1,000), Step 2 CK ($1,000), Step 2 CS ($1,300), exam preparation resources ($2,000-4,000), and travel for clinical rotations and interviews ($5,000-8,000) totals approximately $10,000-15,000. While the US pathway requires dedication and substantial investment, Osh State graduates who commit to thorough USMLE preparation supported by coaching programs have successfully matched into US residencies in Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Psychiatry, and other specialties.
Graduates from Osh State University Medical Faculty are eligible to pursue medical registration in the United Kingdom through the PLAB (Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board) pathway administered by the General Medical Council (GMC). The process involves passing PLAB Part 1, an MCQ-based examination testing medical knowledge across all clinical disciplines, followed by PLAB Part 2, an OSCE-format practical examination assessing clinical and communication skills. After clearing both PLAB exams, graduates must secure a supervised clinical attachment in a UK hospital and then apply for GMC registration with a license to practice.
Once registered, doctors enter the UK Foundation Programme as Foundation Year 1 (F1) doctors, which is equivalent to internship, earning approximately GBP 29,000-34,000 annually (Rs. 32-37 Lakhs). Foundation Year 2 (F2) doctors earn slightly higher at GBP 34,000-39,000 annually.
After completing the two-year foundation programme, doctors enter specialty training programs (equivalent to residency) where salaries progressively increase - specialty trainees earn GBP 43,000-63,000 annually depending on training year, and consultant doctors (attending physicians) earn GBP 88,000-119,000 base salary plus additional payments for extra hours and specialized procedures, totaling potential income exceeding GBP 150,000 annually. PLAB Part 1 exam costs GBP 247, PLAB Part 2 costs GBP 857, GMC registration fee is GBP 495, and additional costs for exam preparation materials, travel to UK for Part 2 exam, and supervised clinical attachment total approximately GBP 3,000-5,000 overall. The NHS actively recruits international medical graduates, and Osh State alumni have successfully obtained GMC registration and are currently working in NHS hospitals across England, Scotland, and Wales in specialties including General Practice, Emergency Medicine, and Internal Medicine.
The structured clinical training at Osh State, combined with dedicated PLAB coaching, prepares students well for both PLAB examinations.
Graduates of Osh State University Medical Faculty can obtain medical licensing in Kyrgyzstan by completing a one-year mandatory internship in affiliated hospitals and passing the national medical licensing examination conducted by the Ministry of Health of the Kyrgyz Republic. Licensed doctors can work in government hospitals earning approximately 25,000-40,000 Kyrgyz Som monthly (Rs. 25,000-40,000), or in private clinics with higher earning potential.
Osh State University offers postgraduate residency programs in various specialties including Internal Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Anesthesiology, with residency duration ranging from 2-4 years depending on specialty. However, very few Indian students opt to stay permanently in Kyrgyzstan for practice. Some students complete a one-year local internship while simultaneously preparing for FMGE/NExT or USMLE examinations, using the internship period to gain additional clinical exposure and hands-on patient management experience in a low-pressure environment.
The local internship is not recognized by NMC India for registration purposes, so students planning to return to India must complete their mandatory rotating internship as per NMC guidelines. Osh State University Medical Faculty also offers PhD programs in medical sciences for students interested in academic and research careers. For most Indian students, Kyrgyzstan serves as an excellent location to complete affordable, quality MBBS education before returning to India or pursuing opportunities in Western countries rather than building long-term careers locally.

It may not offer the infrastructure luxury of newer purpose-built universities, but it provides solid medical education that has produced competent doctors for over 30 years. We do not over-promise unrealistic outcomes, and we do not push you toward this university if your NEET score, budget, or career goals are better served elsewhere. Schedule a free counseling session with us and let us understand your unique situation before making any commitments. We are here to guide you toward the right decision for your future, not just to fill university seats.”
