Reviewed by the iAMBBS medical admissions team•Last updated July 2026
All medical colleges Abroad approved by the National Medical Commission (NMC) for Indian students. NMC approval is mandatory to practice medicine in India after completing MBBS abroad.
Among the 230 universities listed, 230 are NMC approved and 165 are government institutions. The highest FMGE pass rate is 100% at Poznan University of Medical Sciences. Average annual fees are approximately $6,152 (₹5.2 lakhs).
Why NMC Approval Matters for MBBS abroad
For any Indian student, NMC approval is the single most important filter when choosing a medical university abroad. The National Medical Commission (NMC) only lets graduates of approved foreign universities sit the FMGE/NExT screening test and register to practise in India. A degree from a non-approved university abroad, however good the campus looks, cannot be used to practise medicine in India — so this list only includes universities recognised for Indian students.

How to Verify NMC Approval Yourself
Never rely on an agent's word alone. Check the university's current status directly on the official NMC portal (nmc.org.in) and confirm it is also listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS). Recognition can change year to year, so verify for your intended admission year before paying any fee. The universities below are compiled from NMC/WDOMS data, but a final self-check on nmc.org.in is always the safest step.
NMC Approval vs FMGE Success — Not the Same Thing
NMC approval only means you are eligible to appear for FMGE/NExT — it does not guarantee you will pass. Pass rates vary widely between approved universities abroad, so after confirming approval, compare each university's actual FMGE pass-rate record and clinical training before deciding. Approval is the gate; FMGE performance is the outcome that matters for your career.
How to Apply for MBBS abroad
Once you have shortlisted a university from the list above, the process is straightforward: confirm you have qualified NEET, prepare your documents (10th/12th mark sheets, NEET scorecard, passport), apply to the university, receive the admission/invitation letter, and process your student visa. iAMBBS provides free, honest guidance at every step — from matching your NEET score and budget to a university abroad, through admission and visa, to arrival support.
