Before you apply: recognition and fees
NMC does not publish or endorse a list of foreign medical universities. To practise in India you must qualify NEET, and NMC requires Indian graduates of foreign medical courses to qualify the prescribed screening test. Its 2021 regulations for foreign medical graduates are also reported to require at least 54 months of study, a 12-month internship at the same institution and English-medium teaching. Fees on this page are indicative, change every year and are not an official fee schedule, so get the current fee in writing from the university.
