Yes, an MBBS degree obtained from abroad can be valid in India, but there are specific conditions and processes that Indian students must follow to ensure their qualification is recognized. Here are the key points regarding the validity of an abroad MBBS degree in India:
1. NMC Recognition
- Since the introduction of the NMC’s FMGL Regulations 2021, it is essential that the medical degree is obtained from a university that complies with the National Medical Commission (NMC) standards.
- Students should ensure that the foreign university is listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools (WDMS) and adheres to the NMC regulations to be eligible for licensure in India.
2. National Exit Test (NEXT)
- Graduates of foreign medical schools must pass the National Exit Test (NEXT) to practice medicine in India. This exam serves as both a licensure exam and a qualifying exam for postgraduate courses.
- Passing NEXT is crucial for obtaining a registration certificate from the NMC.
3. Eligibility Criteria
- The foreign medical degree should meet specific criteria as outlined in the NMC regulations, including:
- A minimum course duration of 54 months.
- A 12-month internship in the same institution.
- The course must be conducted entirely in English.
- All training must occur in the foreign medical institution and cannot include any part completed in India or elsewhere.
4. Professional Registration
- After successfully completing the NEXT, graduates can register with the State Medical Council in India to practice as a licensed medical professional.
5. Recognition by State Medical Councils
- Some state medical councils may have additional requirements or recognition processes. It’s essential to check the regulations specific to the state where you plan to practice.
Conclusion
In summary, an MBBS degree from abroad can be valid in India if it meets NMC regulations and the graduate passes the NEXT. Therefore, students should carefully research and select NMC-compliant universities to ensure their qualifications are recognized upon returning to India.
