The SAARC Quota 2026-27
Study in Elite Bangladesh Government Medical Colleges on Scholarship. Exclusively for Top-Merit Indian Board Toppers with no year gap.
What is the SAARC Scholarship Quota?
The Government of Bangladesh reserves a very specific number of seats in its prestigious Government Medical Colleges for international students from SAARC nations. According to official DGME circulars, there are exactly 22 MBBS seats and 2 BDS seats allocated for India.
If you secure one of these 22 seats, your massive 5-year MBBS tuition fee is completely waived. You pay the same nominal tuition rate as a local Bangladeshi citizen.
The "100% Free" Reality Check:
While tuition is waived, it is not entirely free living. You still have to pay for your university registration fees, exam fees, monthly hostel rent, and monthly food expenses out of your own pocket for 5 years.
The "Inside Contacts" Agent Myth
This is the most common scam in India. Agents will claim, "Pay us money, we have inside contacts in the Ministry and we will get your name on the list even with a low score."
Fact: You absolutely cannot buy a SAARC seat.
It is purely a mathematical conversion of your 10th and 12th board marks by the Bangladesh Government. A 600+ NEET score will not save you if your board marks are low. Do not trust bribes.
The Strict 2026-27 Eligibility Criteria
Because there are only 22 seats for the entire country of India, the DGME strictly filters candidates using an exact mathematical GPA formula based on Board marks, NOT your NEET score.
-
Strict Passing Years (No Gap)
For the 2026-27 session, you must have passed your 10th (SSC) not before 2023, and your 12th (HSC) in 2025 or 2026. If you dropped multiple years for NEET preparation, you are ineligible. -
Outstanding Board Marks (95%+)
To mathematically secure one of the 22 seats, you need a perfect or near-perfect score. This usually means scoring above 95% overall in your 10th and 12th boards. -
Biology Requirement
A perfect score in Biology is the primary tie-breaker for the final merit list.
The GPA Conversion Secret: The DGME uses a highly complex mathematical formula to equalize Indian State Boards and CBSE into the Bangladeshi GPA 5.0 scale. Do not guess your score.

Government SAARC Quota vs. Private Medical Colleges
Because there are only 22 SAARC seats for India, 99% of students will not secure one. If you do not meet the extreme 95%+ cutoff, Private Medical Colleges remain the standard, NMC-valid pathway with excellent infrastructure and guaranteed admissions.

|---|---|---|
| Tuition Fee | Waived (Pay local rates) | $33,500 – $48,000 |
| Seat Availability (India) | Exactly 22 Seats | Thousands of Seats |
| Academic Requirement | ~95%+ in 10th & 12th | ~60%+ (GPA 7.0 combined) |
