Broad requirements to keep in mind

- Complete a course that meets the prescribed duration, commonly a continuous programme of the specified length

- Clear the applicable screening or licentiate examination on return to India
- Complete any additional internship in India that the regulator requires
Our position
We do not promise registration, licensing or career outcomes, and we never advise a university on the basis of a claimed shortcut around these requirements. We share the university's documents and encourage every family to verify the latest NMC notifications independently before making a payment.
FAQ
Common questions
- Does NMC approve individual foreign universities?
- The regulator sets requirements for the qualification and the graduate rather than issuing blanket approvals. Always check the current notifications and the university's own documentation.
- What is the screening examination?
- It is the licensing examination that a foreign medical graduate must clear before registration in India. Preparation should begin during the course, not after returning.
