⚠️ Important Notice for Students & Parents

- This rule is mandatory and applies to all Bangladeshi medical colleges without exception.
- Medical colleges cannot "manage" or bypass this rule under any circumstances.
Clarification: Eligibility for foreign students requires an Equivalent Certificate issued by DG Health, Bangladesh. This verification process is strict and non-negotiable.
Protect Yourself from Fraud
Some consultancies misguide students by claiming they can "manage" eligibility issues by charging extra money. This is false and unsafe.
In such cases, false or counterfeit academic documents may be created to hide the academic gap. While this may sometimes appear to work temporarily, it can lead to:
- Serious problems during the course of study
- Cancellation of admission and academic documents
- Students being forced to return to India without completing MBBS
As stated in official DGME guidelines: "Fabrication of any documents in the admission process is subjected to cancellation of admission which will be punishable under law."
"At Medientry Bangladesh, we clearly explain what is possible and what is not — because your future matters more than short-term admission."
