Study MBBS in China — Complete Guide for Pakistani Students (2025)
Studying MBBS in China has become the most preferred destination among international students. Chinese institutions offer low tuition fees, fully English-medium programs, state-of-the-art facilities, and degrees recognised internationally by organisations such as WHO and PMDC.
For the 2025 intake, early planning is essential to secure admission in MOE-listed universities and access government-sponsored scholarships like CPEC and CSC. Admission can be complex; without professional guidance it may lead to mistakes that harm your future. Always consult an authentic study abroad agency to choose the right university and submit accurate applications.
Eligibility Requirements for MBBS in China
Required Academic Qualifications
Applicants must hold at least 60% marks in Intermediate (F.Sc / A-Levels) as per PMDC rules and must have studied Biology, Physics & Chemistry. Students with foreign qualifications (A-level / O-level) must obtain an IBCC equivalence certificate to convert grades into the Pakistani system — this is mandatory for MBBS admissions in China.
Some Chinese universities accept students with scores below 60%, but this can complicate degree recognition by PMDC or other international bodies. Merit usually closes around 60–70%, while top-ranked universities may expect 80%+.
English Language Eligibility
Most Chinese medical universities do not require TOEFL/IELTS/PTE if you completed Intermediate in an English-medium institution; you can submit a school-issued certificate or transcript showing English as the medium of instruction. Students from Urdu-medium backgrounds typically need a recognized English test result such as IELTS or TOEFL, or they may be interviewed by the university to assess proficiency.
Age Limits
Typical age requirements for MBBS in China are 17 to 25 years. Some universities offer age relaxations, but top institutions enforce stricter limits. Tip: ensure birth date on your ID, birth certificate, and passport match exactly.
Medical Fitness Requirements
Medical fitness certificates are required to confirm you can complete the six-year MBBS program. Standard tests include a general blood panel, vision check, blood pressure, HIV test, hepatitis screening, tests for infectious diseases, and a chest X-ray for tuberculosis. Vaccination records should be listed where requested. Mental health clearance may be requested by some institutions. All medical certificates must be issued by a registered hospital.
Police Clearance Certificate (PCC)
The PCC is an official document issued by Pakistan police confirming no criminal record. You can obtain it from your local police station or apply online and have it attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Note that a PCC usually expires after 3–6 months from the date of issue, so plan timing accordingly for visa processing and applications.
For official guidance on international medical education recognition see WHO and always confirm specific university rules before applying.
