WHO / WDOMS Listing Explained
A WHO-approved university in Bangladesh is one listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS), jointly maintained by the World Federation for Medical Education and the FAIMER foundation and referenced by the WHO.

WHO Listing vs NMC Approval — You Need Both
For Indian students, WDOMS listing alone is not enough — the university in Bangladesh must ALSO be NMC-approved for the degree to be usable in India. Treat WHO/WDOMS listing as a quality signal that complements, but does not replace, NMC approval. Always confirm both before applying.
