Reviewed by the iAMBBS medical admissions team•Last updated July 2026
All medical universities in Armenia that are approved by the National Medical Commission (NMC) of India. NMC approval is mandatory for Indian students who want to practice medicine in India after completing MBBS abroad. Only graduates from NMC-approved universities can appear for the FMGE/NExT examination.
Among the 13 universities listed, 13 are NMC approved and 3 are government institutions. The highest FMGE pass rate is 1% at Yerevan Haybusak University. Average annual fees are approximately $4,647 (₹3.9 lakhs).
Why NMC Approval Matters for MBBS in Armenia
For any Indian student, NMC approval is the single most important filter when choosing a medical university in Armenia. 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 in Armenia, 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 in Armenia, 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.
