Why This Advisory Matters

According to the official notification, several foreign medical institutions, particularly in Uzbekistan, may not comply with the Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate (FMGL) Regulations, 2021. Non-compliance with these regulations can make students ineligible to practice medicine in India after completing their degree.

This advisory highlight concerns regarding institutions such as Bukhara State Medical Institute, Samarkand State Medical University, and Tashkent State Medical University, along with certain offshore campus models.

Key Issues Identified by NMC

• Admissions exceeding approved student intake capacity
• Lack of proper clinical exposure and hands-on training
• Non-English medium of instruction
• Misleading practices by unauthorized agents

These issues can significantly impact the quality of education and future career opportunities for Indian students.

Mandatory FMGL Requirements for Indian Students

To become eligible for medical registration in India, students must meet the following FMGL criteria:

• Minimum 54 months of education in a single institution
• Completion of 12-month internship at the same university
• Clinical training must not be split across countries
• Medium of instruction must be English

Failure to meet these requirements may result in disqualification from practicing medicine in India.

Important Advice for MBBS Abroad Aspirants
