Free resources, clear roadmap on every process and much more. By Udit Chawla, an international student doing Medicine in Italy.
In 2024, I was in the same position as you are right now. I couldn't clear NEET (Indian Medical Entrance Exam) and hence decided to come to Italy due to low fees in public universities, regional scholarships, and an EU-recognised degree. Like you, the biggest obstacle I faced was finding the right resources, choosing a university as a non-EU student, navigating the complicated documentation process, and then scoring well in IMAT. I ended up scoring 77.9/90 and achieving Rank 1 for the University of Catania in IMAT 2024.
The day I boarded my flight to Italy, I made it my mission to help students get into Medicine in Italy. I started sharing what I learned about IMAT on YouTube from breaking down topics, demystifying the exam structure to walking through university applications step by step. A community of students going through the same journey started to grow, and it made me realise how many people were in the exact position I had been in.
IMAT Dojo is the home base for all of it — free study materials, documentation guides, and honest advice about what actually matters and what doesn't. And for students who want a more personal approach, there's long-term academic mentorship and documentation consultation for you as well.
Watch my full story →IMAT (International Medical Admission Test) is an exam conducted by MIUR, the Ministry of Education and Research of Italy. It gives you access to medical courses in English such as Medicine and Surgery, Dentistry, and Veterinary Medicine in public universities with very low fees.
Medicine and Surgery, Dentistry, and Veterinary Medicine are single-cycle Master's courses (Bachelors+ Masters). The only requirement is 12 years of schooling. Any student from any country can apply, degrees are fully taught in English.
The exam takes place once a year, typically in September. Although pre-enrollment application (mandatory for non-EU students) for some universities closes in June/July. Ideally, you should start your documentation (if non-EU) from May/June.
Biology (23 Qs), Chemistry (15 Qs), Physics & Math (13 Qs), Logical Reasoning (5 Qs), Reading Skills and GK (4 Qs).
Correct answers score +1.5 points. Wrong answers score −0.4 points.
All public universities offering Medicine and Surgery in English accept IMAT only.

Most students fail IMAT not because they lack potential, but because they never get a structured workflow, can't find the right subject-specific resources, and lose weeks of precious prep time drowning in complex documentation.
Udit works with a small, selected group of students every year for long-term personal mentorship — weekly sessions with personalised workflows, curated resources for every subject, weekly to-do lists, and personalised tests built from Italian resources, all tailored entirely to you.
Beyond preparation, our team takes care of every part of the documentation process: pre-enrolment, scholarship documentation, IMAT slot booking, DOV/CIMEA, and visa — so you can channelise your energy exclusively on what truly matters: clearing IMAT.
Udit's YouTube channel breaks down every IMAT topic with clear, focused videos. Straight up value content you actually need. New videos published regularly around exam topics, student questions, and study strategies.
