I heard the good news too! The good news I heard is the remaining students who were supposed to go to KLE University but got stuck behind in USM, have been re-routed to MSU-IMS University in Bangalore. They will be registering with MSU (campus at Shah Alam) some time this week and will be going to Bangalore next week. There will be approx. 100 new medical students in this batch going to Bangalore (largest group size). Best Wishes and Happy Learning to all who will be leaving for Bangalore.
My daughter will be in second year medic at MSU-IMS University; she leaves for Bangalore on Sunday, 2 Oct 2011 at 10pm. All flights to Bangalore are at night @10pm. MAS flies direct to Bangalore International Airport.
KLE University is in Belgaum, Karnataka, India. Belgaum is approx. 450 km or 8 hours by train, up farther northwest.

KLE University (Part 1)
STUDY IN INDIA: BANGALORE VS BELGAUM
There are two universities in India which take Malaysian students for the medicine degree program. One is operated by the Management Science University (MSU) with HQ in Shah Alam, and the other by Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) with HQ in Penang.
The preparatory course for prospective MSU students is done at the Shah Alam campus. MSU is running the prep course for the 5th time this year (2011). The course content is very good and has a lot of resources. However, student housing is a bit crammed at the Shah Alam shop-house hostels.
It is not known where USM conducts its preparatory course for its prospective students or whether there is one. I don't have much info of the USM prep course and program at Belgaum.
MSU operates the MSU-IMS (International Medical School) medical program in Bangalore and uses the Ramaiah Hospital.
USM operates the USM-KLE (Karnataka Lingayat Education) University medical program in Belgaum. It is not known which hospital is used at the time of this writing. Belgaum is approx. 8 hours drive from Bangalore airport or 1 hour flight.

Both programs are ok. The Academic Session begins at the beginning of October each year. Students have a 1-month break at the end of first year before they continue into second year.
Both programs have applied for MQA approval. MSU-IMS applied for MQA approval last year, October 2010. USM-KLE applied for MQA approval just recently, in June 2011. Once approved, medical graduates are acknowledged by JPA (Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam, Malaysia) and students can work as doctors. Check and re-check with JPA that these overseas programs comply with MQA set standards. Do your own homework too.
If there is no MQA approval for the overseas medical program, the downside is graduates will not be recognised after they graduate and have to fall back on their highest academic achievement, either SPM or STPM. This will be a waste after all the 5 years spent overseas. Better to be safe than sorry.
Parents must scrutinise medical programs and ask a lot of questions. Never take anything for granted. Don't be misled. Read the fine print too before signing any document. Don't sign if you don't understand.
