Right, I have to edit that. I consider it a local med school since the campus in Bangalore is an Off-shore campus of MSU (MSU is a local Uni).

Correction, MSU actually built an offshore campus in Bangalore and has started the program since 2006.
Collaboration was made not with the Uni. of Bangalore (they dont have MBBS, only Bangalore medical college conducts MBBS) but with MS Ramaiah Medical College and MS Ramaiah Memorial Hospital.

MSU did not buy any "medical seats" from MS Ramaiah Medical College, but instead offered their own medical seats to Malaysians independent of that college since the facilities, lab and buildings are separate. Both MSU-IMS and MS Ramaiah medical college are separate entities, collaboration exists between the two in terms of medical expertises (professors and lecturers), training hospital and other related matters.

How did I know this? I am studying there right now.

Read the articles below:

Relatively unknown?... I guess MSU don't get much publicity being an IPTS and Bumiputra-owned at that. It was previously known as KUTPM. Regarding strong political connections, that is a good thing is it not?

You do realize that India is a good destination for MBBS dont you? Ask those in MMMC as well if you dont believe me.

The problem that currently hinders MSU from starting a medical school in Malaysia is the absence of a training hospital (particularly in Shah Alam and its surrounding area) and the difficulty in obtaining medical experts. In order to overcome these problems, MSU has instead set up its medical school in India itself. Thus, the problem of medical experts unwilling to relocate to Malaysia to teach has been solved.

The medical college and hospital in which MSU is currently collaborating with agrees to supply the training hospital and medical experts simply because it benefits them (monetarily). By doing so, MSU gains the benefit of having the place, resources and man power to start a medical school even though its 100% abroad.



Ah. Here is the thing. Teacher: student ratio as well as student: patient ratio is good. There are just too many people in Bangalore and thus too many people getting sick with various kinds of ailments.

MS Ramaiah medical college and hospital (or rather, India as whole) has abundant medical experts. The lecturers for the medical subjects only teaches permanently in either one of the medical colleges and not both at the same time. Lecturers from Manipal and other medical colleges in India have also been "recruited" to teach in MSU-IMS.

As for the training hospitals, there are another two major hospitals currently used for the purpose of teaching MSU-IMS students namely Baptist Hospital and Saint Theressa Hospital.


Indeed this MBBS program will not be recognized by Indian Medical Council (IMC).

This program is not meant for practice in India. Its a Malaysian program done in India with the aid of Indian resources and experties. MMC, MARA and MOH representatives had visited MSU-IMS several times in the past to assess the quality and progress of the program. So far, things are looking good.

They came along to see how their sponsored students are doing there.

Some have been recognized and listed in MMC website.
Unfortunately a majority of the listed med skools are not yet recognized by MMC at least not until their pioneer batch have graduated and assessed by MMC.

Previously, MMMC (Melaka Manipal Medical College) had some issues with the Indian Medical Council.
However, Its still listed and recognized by Malaysian Medical Council. You can check their list below (click it):

MALAYSIAN MEDICAL COUNCIL LIST

you are welcomed~
are you planning to join any one of the med colleges listed?

the thing is, from what I've observed these last few years with LYN. Med students, Med students-wannabe and even med grads have these eagerness to want to practice outside of Malaysia.

They are concerned with SMC recognition, USMLE, PLAB etc. I assume money is the driving force? why do you think MMC and Gov keeps allowing new IPTS med schools from blooming all over the country?

Well, in my point of view, one of the reason for this is to avoid/reduce their past mistakes. The government sent JPA/MARA students abroad to study medicine so that they will return, serve the Malaysian community and become a valuable asset to the country. But then.... some of these students refused to return after graduating... therefore, the gov's investment went down the drain.

You guys see the problem here?



Now, in order to make sure that the future JPA/MARA sponsored students comes back to serve the government, the government has instead sent them to these new IPTS to study medicine.

Why? just think of this, malaysian IPTS are recognized only in Malaysia and therefore they will only be able to serve in Gov service after graduating. No more running away. The government is smart isn't it?

Regarding JPA sponsorship for graduate entry medicine abroad, you have to inquire directly to their HQ.

If you were referring to local private medical universities, the minimum requirement for for a BSc. holder can either be CGPA of 3.0 (Second class upper degree) or CGPA 3.5 (first class degree), that however may differ between universities. But be reminded that you will join the normal 5-years program along with STPM/A-Levels/Foundation holders.

Diploma holders are required to have a minimum CGPA of 3.5 in order to be considered.

Gov.universities don't have graduate entry medical program. They are already swamped with STPM/matriculation students.

For the 4-years fast track medical program you will have to look abroad for it. Australia, UK, US and some European countries such as Poland offers such program.



By the way, have you graduated? what is your BSc. ?

A friend of mine studying there told me, it was around RM300K.

If you are referring to the place where I am currently studying, here are some counter-questions and answers for you.
Firstly, What is wrong with having the training hospital in another country? or better yet, having the entire program conducted abroad?

Tell me if it is any different from having other Malaysian students studying medicine in various medical faculties around the world. Don't they need a training hospital in those countries? (just think of IMU-PMS, for instance).

The same goes with the financial gain that the foreign universities benefit from having our students studying in their universities. Or do you expect Malaysians to be allowed to study there for a minimal fee or perhaps free of charge? What benefit would they get out of that?

For your information, the program structure for MBBS in India may not be the same with other MBBS programs outside of India.

To get the MBBS in India, one needs to study for 4.5 years. Then followed by 1 year of internship in an approved hospital in India (becomes of a Houseman in India for 1 year). Only after that, one can be considered a Medical officer and may proceed to apply for specialization (MD) training.

Here is my program structure:




Now, Malaysian students have to serve in Indian hospitals for 1 year as a houseman, and then return to Malaysia and serve for another 2 years of housemanship in government hospitals. As you can see, those that study in India will have an additional 1 year of training / experience as a houseman.

JPA and MARA are the sponsors for many medical students studying abroad. They will consult with MMC regarding the "good medical training" available abroad or by IPTS in Malaysia prior to sending their sponsored students.

For example, MMC have been continuously assessing the quality of the institution and MBBS program conducted in my place for over 3 years now, the most recent visit by them was on January. They came and made assessment as well as giving seminars.

Here are some pictures:

Additional Note regarding our Dean:
Datuk Dr.Abdul Gani bin Mohammed Din,
is the former Deputy Director-General of Health (Medical) for the Malaysian Ministry of Health and former Director of Medical Development Division Ministry of Health.
He is one of the individuals that oversees and responsible for the development of MSU-IMS.


As Limeuu previously stated, MARA and JPA are not involved in the assessment of Medical institutions of higher learning, however both will refer to MMC regarding that matter.

*Updated - Thursday, 25th June 2009 - 2 more IPTS medical schools added in 1st page

Thanks, corrected~

20 students only?
hmmm... perhaps they have a second intake? 20 students/batch - too few.
20 x RM280000 = RM5.6M~ ohhh~ UCSI management team is going to have one hell of a headache~

I have added Taylor's University College Medical School in the list. (see first page)
Twinning program is done with the following universities:

-St.Georges University, London. (MBBS, 5 years program)
-Universitas Kristen Krida Wacana (UKRIDA), Indonesia. (MD, 6 years program)
-Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic. (MuDR, 6 years program)


If anyone knows the exact fee for the program conducted there, do inform me.

I can say for certain that some bright students (straight A's SPM / 4.00 CGPA Matriculation) - upon entering MBBS program - like to slack-off, didn't go for lectures and clinical postings, like to play more than studying, etc etc...

Not many of them though... as a result, some of these students failed their professional exam or got barred from taking the exam due to attendance shortage and have to repeat year...

Manipal University

Kasturba Medical College and Melaka Manipal Medical College (MMMC) campus site.
Some picture taken from Manipal Campus in India during my visit there.


I've been to Manipal (India Campus) last december for an event there (LAGENDA 2009). I can't tell you much about the workings of the college there since I'm not an MMMC student.

Manipal town is quite a distance from Bangalore. The road to Manipal from bangalore - is terrible, took me full 12 hours to reach there.

Campus is quite big and very nice. The Manipal town is not as busy as Bangalore, calm but the weather there is VERY hot. I was sweating all day when I was there (Bangalore is cold but dusty and dry).

Food is somewhat cheaper than in the major cities in Karnataka (an Indian State where Manipal Uni is located). Seafood is easily available, there is even teh tarik (Malaysian version) and Nasi lemak being sold in the campus cafeteria (this is something that I envy a lot - since my campus don't have such food).

but Pictures speak louder than words..

Hey~ there is also a very nice beach there too...

Studying medicine is very stressful at most times...
However... there are times to fool around... otherwise one would be insane studying non-stop...





Want to learn osteology up-close, in India, one can get human bones cheaply...

Studied osteology under anatomy last time.

Bones are still lying around my room, now I'm reusing them for forensic medicine and orthopedics.
Its also good for pranking other people as well...

eg; in the past we put the skull in lying around in corridors and see the reactions of the passerby (non-medical ppl) or putting the skull in the college elevator and wait for people (non-medical college staff) to use the elevator from other floor and hear their reactions from ground-floor... very funny...

Try and invent some funny ideas during your med school...
