WHO/WDOMS-listed, the basis for NMC’s foreign-graduate pathway — confirm the current listing directly on wdoms.org before applying. NEET qualification is mandatory; a high score is not required, only a valid, qualifying scorecard.
No — these are two genuinely distinct institutions in the same city, founded ten years apart (1804 vs. 1814). Confirm which one you’re applying to.
Completed 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, minimum 50% aggregate (40% for reserved categories), and at least 17 years old by 31 December of the admission year.
Yes, mandatory for all Indian applicants under NMC’s FMGL Regulations 2021.
Yes — the university maintains multiple dormitory buildings across campus, with international students typically sharing furnished rooms in pairs or trios.
