Ukrainian Medical Degree Recognition in India 2026

Overview

Straight answer for Indian students: yes, a Ukrainian MBBS is recognized in India — if your university is on the NMC approved list. NEXT (formerly FMGE) is the gateway exam. Graduates from top Ukrainian medical schools consistently pass at competitive rates.

The National Medical Commission (NMC) maintains an updated list of approved foreign medical universities. Bogomolets NMU, Ternopil TNMU, Kharkiv NMU, Lviv NMU and several others are on this list. Always verify before enrolling.

Important update for Indian students: from 2025, the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) is being phased into NEXT (National Exit Test) for all medical graduates including foreign graduates. The screening test requirement remains.
