Medical Education in Nepal fails to follow NMC FMGL Regulations 2021

As Nepal initiates counselling rounds for MBBS admissions, Indian students are facing uncertainty due to Nepal’s failure to meet the Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate (FMGL) Regulations, 2021. This may affect students who enrolled after 2021 or are planning to study MBBS/BDS in Nepal. While the Nepal Medical Council (NMC) initially misled students, it later clarified that foreign graduates would not be eligible for permanent practice licenses equivalent to Nepali citizens, leaving many students in limbo.
