The study of medicine or otherwise referred to as MBBS has grown immensely over the years in India.
Today the number of students applying in medical universities abroad has drastically increased than what it used to be a couple of years back.
Why, you ask?

As per the Medical Council of India, a total of 542 government and private colleges together provide a sum of 79,855 seats to students who have successfully cleared the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET).
The number of seats offered by MCI is not even 1% of the total number of candidates that register for the exam every year.

Private medical colleges with their immoderate tuition fees is the only option left for students who are unable to meet the cut off.

All in all, MBBS abroad is quite affordable as compared to MBBS in India. Thats why most Indian students prefer to do their MBBS abroad only.

High-priced capitation charges are taken by private medical colleges in India. But, theres no such charges taken by medical universities abroad. It is more fruitful to study medicine abroad than in India.
