The government of Nepal allocates 1895 seats for candidates who want to pursue MBBS in Nepal. In 2023, the government allocated 430 scholarship seats for students who wish to study MBBS in Nepal.
Available scholarship seats are divided into the general scholarship (55%, i.e., 237 seats) and the reservation scholarship (45%, i.e., 193 seats). In both categories, the candidates are selected purely based on ranks within this cluster.
For example, for the general scholarship, the 237 highest-ranking students in the MECEE-BL for the MBBS exam are chosen irrespective of gender, religion, and ethnicity. For reservation, the competition will be only among the eligible clusters of students within each reservation sub-category. For example, six students who are dalit females will be selected to study MBBS based on the merit list.
Medical Colleges affiliated with two Universities (Kathmandu University and Tribhuvan University) and three health science academies (PAHS, KAHS, and BPKIHS) offer MBBS programs in Nepal.
