If you're searching "MBBS abroad consultants in Thane," you'll find dozens of offices between Naupada, Gokhale Road and Ghodbunder Road — all promising "100% admission." We're MedAbroad, a doctor-led consultancy in Thane West (Office No. 6, Jyoti CHS, Gopal Krishna Gokhale Marg, behind McDonald's, Naupada), and this guide will help you evaluate anyone — including us.
Why "doctor-led" matters more than "biggest office"
Most consultancies in Thane and Mumbai are sales operations: counsellors earn commission per admission, so their advice bends toward whichever university pays them most. MedAbroad was founded by Dr. Megha C. Mahajan and Dr. Devendra Kumar Pal — both MBBS graduates of Tver State Medical University, Russia, now practicing in India. When you sit across the table from us, you're talking to people who lived the exact journey your child is about to start.
7 checks before choosing any consultant in Thane
Who actually counsels you? Ask if the counsellor has studied medicine — or even visited the universities they sell.
Where does your money go? Tuition must go directly to the university's bank account. Never pay tuition to the consultancy.
Do they show FMGL 2021 compliance in writing? (54 months + 12-month internship, English medium, WHO-listed university.)
Will they connect you to current students? A genuine consultant hands you phone numbers of students on campus today.
Do they discuss FMGE honestly? Anyone who says "FMGE is easy" is lying — recent pass rates hover around 20–30%.
Is there a written service agreement listing every charge?
Do they present more than one country? If every student is pushed to the same university, that's commission talking.
5 red flags (walk out if you see these)
"Guaranteed admission + guaranteed FMGE pass" packages.
Fees quoted only as one lump-sum "package" in cash.
"NMC-approved university" claims — NMC does not approve any foreign university; it sets rules students must meet.
Pressure to book "today only" discount seats.
No physical office you can visit — or an office that won't name its counsellors.
