Why is Kazakhstan becoming so popular among Indian medical students?

Every year, around 17 lakh medical students take the NEET-UG entrance exam, competing for less than 1 lakhs Medical seats .
Imagine 8 lakh candidates qualify in NEET exam and all seats are given to the top ranker who scored above 650 .
The NEET-UG 2022 cut off was 138 for general and 108 for reserved categories, however they would not be able to enrol in government colleges.
Some of the best students are admitted to any government medical college in India (approx 50,000 seats are in government colleges and the rest 50,000 are in private medical colleges).
Some students who can afford to pay high tuition fees and donations (ranging from 70 lakh to 1 crore) join in private universities.
Have you ever considered what the other NEET qualified students do?
Every year, around 1-1.5 lakh people select the MBBS abroad option. Now, there are many nations that provide MBBS degrees overseas, however countries like Russia, Georgia, and Moldova offer 6-year medical courses, whilst countries like Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan offer 5-year MBBS degrees.
