The important aspect to note is that MBBS degree obtained from Belarus has global validity as those medical schools are listed in International Medical Education Directory (IMED), Avicenna Directories and World Directory of Medical Schools which are internationally acclaimed. The World Directory of Medical Schools is developed by World Federation for Medical Education (WFME) and the Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research (FAIMER), which is presently the authority listing all the medical schools in the world, with accurate, up-to-date, and comprehensive information on each school. The following weblink provides you all the relevant details: http://www.wdoms.org/

The major sponsors of this World Directory work are:

No, it is not at all true. MCI Screening Test is officially known as FMGE - Foreign Medical Graduate Screening Test. It is held by National Board of Examinations (NBE) twice every year in June and December. There are no restrictions on number of attempts that can be availed by an applicant. Since the year 2014, the test is being held in ‘Computer Based Format (CBT)’ unlike OCR sheet format of earlier years. Because of introduction of CBT, the test centres are allotted in all major cities to appear for the exams. The complete details about FMGE, Scheme of Test, Guidelines, Instructions etc. can be read from the official weblink of NBE : http://www.fmge.nbe.gov.in/index.php
This is a question most often asked by inquisitive parents and puzzles many a person. Belarus was erstwhile Soviet Republic under the communist regime. Public health and Education being the primordial aspects of Communist rule, massive infrastructure of Hospitals, Labs, Equipments, Buildings etc. were built up under special drive to eradicate diseases and ensure good health of citizens at cheapest costs. This resulted in promoting medical education with institutions having capacity to recruit 2000 to 3000 students. As a result, Belarus achieved Doctor:Patient ratio of 1:220, way ahead than many developed countries, while international norm prescribed by WHO is at 1:1000. Having reached saturation point on domestic front, these well established medical institutions were thrown open to foreign students as part of globalization of education, and also to earn precious foreign exchange.
This question evokes the counter question as to whether the student is equipped with sufficient funds to pursue their studies in foreign medical institutions, since the earning while studying mostly suggests the shortage of funds. Two important points need to be weighed in mind. First, the passport of the student bears education visa not the work visa, hence strictly speaking working for earning is not legal. Second, there will be hardly any spare time in medical studies, and as the student progresses, the clinical and hospital works keep them too busy. It will be sweet to hear about part time earning, but this is practically not feasible as the countries offering MBBS course in the market are not comparable with the developed countries like US, UK etc., and the fee structures are already subsidized and committed at the time of admission.
First, the aim of Medico-abroad is to offer students value for the money they pay. Medico-Abroad specifies and details all the charges that will have to be borne by the student. This helps the student to budget for the same. Even though Medico-Abroad specifies various services like Admission Confirmation Letter, Visa and Medical Insurance etc., it does not take into account some services which may need to be offered to the student and the same is offered free of cost.
