TAU announces scholarships for Indian students

Hyderabad: Texila American University (TAU) has announced attractive scholarships for Indian students to fulfil their medical aspirations. TAU offers an MCI recognised medicine program in Guyana, South America. The university is offering scholarships of up to Rs 10 lakh for every meritorious student.
“Since the Indian Union Health Ministry has disapproved 82 medical colleges, at least 10,000 MBBS seats have been blocked nationwide.

In order to fill this glaring gap, TAU is offering an opportunity to aspiring students to fulfil their dreams of becoming doctors by helping them with attractive scholarship”, said S P Saju Bhaskar, President, Texila American University. There are only 65000 MBBS seats in medical colleges in India and every year millions of students appear for medical entrance exam. Therefore, most of the students aspiring to become doctors in India find it difficult to get a medical seat. It is therefore a preferable option for many Indian students to consider studying MBBS abroad.

The university admits students twice a year, i.e., March and September. Since for most Indian students academic results are declared in June, they prefer September session for admissions. For students who prefer to practice in USA, TAU offers training for the US medical licensing exam. “Texila opens a wide variety of opportunities for the international students, many of our successful Indian students have gone back to India and they are registered with the MCI, student intending to go to USA pursue USMLE and continue to do their residency in the United States, where as some remain in the West indies to practice medicine” said Dr Anand.
