What is the difference between MBBS in India and MBBS abroad?

In India, seats are allotted through NEET-UG based counselling run by the MCC and state authorities. Abroad, you apply to universities directly. If you study abroad and want to practise in India, your course must also meet NMC requirements. See MBBS in India and MBBS Abroad.

A foreign medical degree can lead to practice in India if the course meets the NMC Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate Regulations, 2021 (including a minimum 54-month course, a 12-month internship at the same institution and English as the medium of instruction) and you clear the licensing examination prescribed in India. Check the latest NMC rules for your chosen university.

What is NExT, and does it replace FMGE?

The National Medical Commission Act, 2019 provides for a National Exit Test (NExT) as a common licensing examination for Indian and foreign medical graduates. Its implementation timeline has changed several times, and until it is in force foreign medical graduates take the FMGE. Please check the latest NMC notifications for the current position.

Many universities abroad offer English-medium programmes, but this varies. NMC rules require the whole course to be in English, so we confirm this for each programme you consider.
