Some of our Student’s Success Stories

The enormous amount that the self-financing medical colleges in Tamilnadu and Pondicherry demanded for admission to MBBS course shattered my dreams of making a doctor. We immediately went to Chennai and met Mr. Mohammed Ghani sir. He got admission to me, guided to have all the documents to get Visa, Bank Loan, and the qualifying certificate from NMC. He assured us a safe hostel exclusively for girls which was far better than what he described. I thank Limra for making great success over my ambition.

Limra Overseas Education is mainly responsible for materializing the goal of my parents in making me a doctor. I am grateful to Limra. Even after the completion of the course at Davao Medical School Foundation, Philippines, Limra continues to have concern over its students and render all possible help. Limra could have left us after admitting us at Philippines. But it took continuous care on our career. I will never forget the help of Limra in this.
