For parents
Sending a child abroad is a big step. These are the things we would want to know in your place.
Safety
Safety depends on the country and city. Read the country advisory and the Indian Embassy's notices, and ask about hostel rules, warden and emergency support.
Money
Plan for the whole course, not only the first year. See approximate costs by country. Pay by traceable bank transfer, to the university where possible, and keep receipts.
NMC rules in short
- NEET-UG qualification is required to be eligible to practise in India.
- 12th with at least 50% in Physics, Chemistry and Biology (40% for reserved categories).
- Course of at least 54 months, English medium, 12-month internship at the same institution, and a licence to practise in that country.
- Then the screening exam in India. Read FMGE and NExT.
Questions to ask any consultant, including us
- Is the university recognised by the country's health ministry, and can I see proof?
- Does the course meet NMC FMGL 2021 (at least 54 months, English medium, internship at the same institution)?
- What is the total cost over the whole course, in writing, including hostel and exams?
- What happens to the fee if the visa is refused or my child leaves?
- Can I talk to Indian students studying there now?
