Advisory for Indian Students Planning to Study Medicine Abroad

The National Medical Commission (NMC) has observed that despite previous advisories and alerts, several Indian students are seeking admission to private medical colleges abroad that do not adhere to the regulations prescribed by the NMC. These institutions or universities often follow a curriculum, time frame, and training standards that are not in alignment with NMC regulations applicable in India.

The NMC emphasizes that such practices may lead to significant consequences for students who wish to practice medicine in India. Many students continue to take admission in these non-compliant institutions, risking their eligibility to register as medical practitioners in India.

These requirements are essential for obtaining registration to practice allopathy in India.
