How do I verify if a university is NMC approved?

Visit the official NMC website at nmc.org.in and check the Information Desk section. Look for the list of recognized foreign medical institutions. The university name and country should appear in this official list. You can also contact the NMC helpline for verification.

Can I practice medicine in India after MBBS abroad?

Yes, graduates from recognized foreign medical universities can practice in India after clearing the FMGE examination. You also need to complete a 12 month internship at a recognized hospital in India. After this you can register with your State Medical Council and start practicing.

What is FMGE pass rate and why is it important?

FMGE pass rate shows the percentage of students from a university who clear the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination. The national average is around 20 percent. Universities with pass rates above 30 percent provide better education quality. Some top universities achieve 50 to 60 percent pass rates.

Is NEET required for MBBS abroad?

Yes, NEET qualification is mandatory for Indian students seeking MBBS admission abroad since 2018. You need a valid NEET scorecard at the time of admission. There is no minimum cutoff but you must have appeared and qualified the examination.

What happens if I study at a non-recognized university?

Your MBBS degree will not be valid in India. You cannot appear for FMGE and cannot obtain a license to practice medicine in India. Always verify NMC recognition before taking admission at any foreign medical university.

What are the eligibility requirements for MBBS abroad?

Indian students must be at least 17 years old, have completed 12th standard with Physics Chemistry and Biology with minimum 50 percent marks, and have qualified NEET examination. A valid passport is also required for visa processing.

Every year over 20,000 Indian students travel abroad to pursue MBBS at recognized foreign medical universities. If you are planning to study MBBS abroad, choosing an NMC approved medical college is the most important decision you will make.

The National Medical Commission maintains eligibility criteria for foreign medical graduates who wish to practice medicine in India. Graduates from recognized universities can appear for the FMGE screening test and obtain their license to practice. Studying at a non-recognized university means your degree will not be valid in India.

Indian students prefer countries like Russia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Philippines for affordable medical education. Tuition fees at these universities range from 3 to 8 lakh rupees per year, which is significantly lower than private medical colleges in India that charge 15 to 25 lakh per year.

Before applying to any foreign medical university, verify its recognition status on the official NMC website. Also check the university FMGE pass rate as it indicates how well graduates perform in the licensing examination. Universities with pass rates above 30 percent are considered good choices.

This page lists all recognized foreign medical universities sorted by their FMGE success rate. Use this data to shortlist universities that offer quality education at affordable fees.
