Regulatory

NMC Rules You Must Know

The National Medical Commission (NMC) sets strict rules for students studying MBBS abroad. Violating any of these means your degree won't be recognised in India.

📅

4.5 Years On-Campus

Minimum 4.5 years of full-time, on-campus study at the foreign university. Online or distance learning is NOT accepted.

🏥

12 Months Internship

Mandatory 12-month clinical internship at the same foreign university and its affiliated hospitals. It cannot be done in India.

🇬🇧

English-Medium Only

The MBBS program must be taught in English. Bilingual, Russian-only, or local-language programs are NOT recognised by NMC.

WHO & Ministry Listed

The university must be listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools AND recognised by the country's Ministry of Higher Education.

📋

NExT Exam is Mandatory

After completing your degree + internship, you must pass the National Exit Test (NExT) to get an Indian medical licence to practise.

🏫

Affiliated Teaching Hospital

The university must have an attached teaching hospital with adequate bed strength. Universities without hospitals are not NMC compliant.

Stay Safe

Do's & Don'ts

Always Do This

  • Verify your university on the NMC approved list (nmc.org.in)
  • Keep your NEET scorecard safe — it's needed at every step
  • Ensure the program is taught entirely in English
  • Check that the university has an affiliated teaching hospital
  • Complete all 4.5 years on-campus — no shortcuts
  • Complete your internship abroad at the same university

Never Do This

  • Don't join any university not listed on NMC / WHO
  • Don't pay capitation or donation fees — they are illegal
  • Don't enrol in a bilingual or local-language program
  • Don't do your internship in India — it won't be counted
  • Don't trust agents who guarantee admission without NEET score
  • Don't join private universities not recognised by the ministry
