To be eligible for permanent registration to practice medicine in India after completing MBBS abroad, students must complete their MBBS course from a recognized medical university abroad for a minimum duration of 54 months, followed by a mandatory internship of at least 12 months at the same institution overseas. After applying to the National Medical Commission (NMC), foreign medical graduates are also required to complete a supervised internship in India for a minimum of one year. Additionally, they must pass the National Exit Test (NExT) or any other examination as mandated by the Commission to obtain permanent registration and practice medicine in India.

Obtaining a valid NEET scorecard also allows students to appear for the licensing examinations (FMGE/NExT) after completing their MBBS degree abroad, enabling them to practice medicine in India.

Yes, the MBBS programs at all the universities we partner with are recognized and approved by the National Medical Commission (NMC), India. For verification of the recognition status of other foreign medical universities, you can visit the official NMC website.
