Before you compare this list
Read firstWho admits youThe Medical Education Commission (MEC), Nepal — not the college.
What you needA qualified NEET score, then the MEC entrance and counseling process.
Practising in IndiaRequires the NMC screening examination (FMGE / NExT) after your degree.
FeesSet per intake. We do not publish figures that go stale — ask us.
Medical Education Commission (MEC) Nepal, 2025-26 intake, and National Medical Commission (India) rules on foreign medical qualifications. Check the notice for your own intake year — these change.
Recognition is per intake year, not permanent. A college recognised for one year is not automatically recognised for the next. Before you pay anyone anything, confirm the current status on the MEC and NMC notices for your intake year — including anything you read here.
