Kyrgyzstan
Indian students applying for MBBS in Kyrgyzstan must meet the standard NMC requirements for overseas medical education.
Admission process
We assess your profile and shortlist Kyrgyz universities based on official regulatory verification, NMC guideline compliance, and 6-year budget. We advise on city — Bishkek has the largest Indian student community and the most developed FMGE coaching infrastructure; Osh is cheaper but has fewer options. We prepare your complete document set: Class 10 and 12 marksheets with apostille, NEET scorecard, passport copy, and photographs. Where the university requires notarised Russian or Kyrgyz translation of academic records, we arrange this as part of the process.
Portugal
Portugal is a Western European Union member state home to Catolica Medical School, a newer, WFME-recognized Integrated Master in Medicine programme with English-medium pre-clinical instruction and a dedicated international-applicant admissions track.
