WHO Listing vs NMC Approval — You Need Both
For Indian students, WDOMS listing alone is not enough — the university in Egypt 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.
