With the escalating cut-off marks and limited seats for medical education in India, many aspiring students are turning towards pursuing an MBBS degree abroad. This shift has been further accelerated by the stringent regulations set by the National Medical Commission (NMC) in 2021, making it imperative for students to carefully choose the right country for their medical studies. RICH GLOBAL EDU, a reputable MBBS abroad consultancy based in Chennai, offers insights into the pros and cons, costs, and top destinations for Indian students looking to study MBBS overseas.
The NMC has laid down specific criteria that Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs) need to meet to practice medicine in India. These regulations emphasize the duration of the MBBS course abroad, the necessity of an additional internship, clearing the licensing examination in the country of study, and passing the National Exit Test (NEXT) within the stipulated timeframe.
According to the NMC norms, the MBBS course abroad should have a minimum duration of 54 months, excluding a one-year internship, to ensure comprehensive training. FMGs are also required to undergo an additional one-year internship to develop practical clinical skills. Moreover, clearing the licensing examination in the host country and the NEXT within 10 years from joining the course are essential steps to practice in India.
The NMC norms implemented in 2021 have reshaped the framework for aspiring Indian medical students looking to study MBBS abroad. These norms set specific criteria that Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs) must meet in order to practice medicine in India. Some of the key requirements include:
- Duration of Course: The MBBS course abroad should have a minimum duration of 54 months, excluding the one-year internship. This ensures students receive comprehensive training and are well-prepared for medical practice.
- Additional Internship: FMGs are required to complete an additional one-year internship beyond the course duration to enhance their clinical skills.
- Licensing Examination: Clearing the licensing examination conducted by the local government of the country where they pursued MBBS is mandatory for FMGs to practice as independent medical practitioners.
- NEXT Exam: The entire process, including clearing the National Exit Test (NEXT), must be completed within 10 years from joining the MBBS course. The NEXT serves as a competency assessment for medical graduates seeking registration in India.
Given these stringent regulations, only a few countries fully align with the NMC norms. Countries like Russia, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan offer MBBS programs that meet these criteria. However, each destination comes with its own set of challenges that students need to consider.
