Step 2: Shortlist & Select Your Medical College
Choosing the right institution is critical for your 5-year academic training and future licensing exams. Evaluate colleges using these core parameters:
NMC & BMDC Accreditation: Verify that the institution complies with the NMC Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate (FMGL) Regulations 2021 (60-month course duration + 12-month internship in the same campus hospital).
FMGE / NExT Success Rate: Review past licensing exam performance; top colleges consistently achieve high pass percentages.
Clinical Exposure: Choose colleges with affiliated 500+ to 750+ bed teaching hospitals with high daily OPD patient flow.
Transparent Fee Structure: Compare total 5-year tuition packages and hostel fees.
