Introduction
For Indian students planning to study MBBS abroad, choosing an NMC-approved medical college is non-negotiable. The National Medical Commission (NMC) — formerly MCI — is the regulatory body that determines which foreign medical degrees are valid for practice in India. This article provides a comprehensive list of NMC-approved medical colleges in Bangladesh and explains why this recognition is critical.
Why NMC Recognition Matters
If you graduate from a college that is not recognized by the NMC, you will not be eligible to:
- Appear for the FMGE or NExT licensing exam
- Register with any State Medical Council in India
- Practice medicine legally in India
Therefore, always verify NMC recognition before applying. Learn more about whether MBBS in Bangladesh is valid in India.
