MBBS in Nepal — Frequently Asked Questions
The questions students and parents ask us most, answered simply.
MBBS in Nepal can be considered by Indian students looking for medical education abroad. Its proximity to India, availability of English-medium programmes and relatively accessible travel are among the factors students may consider. Before applying, students should verify the college's recognition, admission requirements and applicable NMC regulations.
Indian students generally need to complete Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology and English and qualify NEET-UG. Candidates must also meet the eligibility requirements specified by the concerned medical college and the applicable regulations for foreign medical education.
The cost of MBBS in Nepal varies by medical college and may include tuition fees, hostel, food, travel and other living expenses. Students should check the latest fee structure of the selected college before admission, as the total cost can differ significantly between institutions.
The MBBS admission process in Nepal generally includes checking eligibility, qualifying NEET-UG, selecting a suitable medical college, completing the required application or counselling process, submitting the necessary documents and confirming admission after seat allocation. Admission requirements and procedures may vary by institution.
An MBBS degree from Nepal does not by itself guarantee permission to practise medicine in India. Indian students should ensure that the selected medical institution and programme meet the applicable NMC requirements. Graduates must also fulfil the prevailing requirements for registration and medical practice in India.
Indian citizens generally do not require a visa to enter Nepal. However, students planning to study MBBS in Nepal should carry valid identity and admission-related documents and check the latest travel and institutional requirements before travelling.
