NMC Recognized Universities” — A Misleading Claim You Shouldn’t Fall For
You’ve probably seen ads saying: -
- “Study MBBS in NMC-recognized universities abroad!”
- “Guaranteed NMC approval!”
Let’s be clear — the National Medical Commission (NMC) does NOT recognize or approve any foreign university.
- What the NMC Actually Says
Under the Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate (FMGL) Regulations, 2021, NMC does not publish or endorse a list of “approved” universities.
Instead, it defines eligibility criteria that students must meet if they wish to practice medicine in India after earning a foreign degree.
That means — the responsibility isn’t on the university’s “recognition” but on whether your medical education meets NMC’s FMGL standards.
- Before You Choose a University Abroad, Check:
- Course duration: Minimum 54 months 12 months internship
- Entirely English-medium instruction
- Hands-on clinical training in affiliated hospitals
- Graduates are eligible to practice in that country after graduation
- If any of these are missing, your degree may not be valid for NExT/FMGE in India — no matter what any consultant promises.
