Poland
Poland is a European Union study destination with public and non-public higher-education institutions, first-cycle, second-cycle, long-cycle and doctoral routes. Universities set programme-specific admissions, language and fee rules; international applicants should confirm current requirements with the institution and, where relevant, Polish recognition and immigration authorities.
Admission process
Uzbekistan
For Indian students, Uzbekistan is now a verification-first destination. Admission alone is not enough. You need the exact university and course structure to stay aligned with NMC's FMGL Regulations, 2021 if you want the India-return pathway to remain open.
Poland
Students can compare English-taught and Polish-taught degrees across humanities, social sciences, business, natural sciences, engineering, medicine and the arts. Poland uses the European higher-education framework, and full-time degree applicants from outside the EU may need both university admission and a visa or residence process, with eligibility depending on the credential, programme and nationality.

We assess your profile and shortlist Uzbek universities with extra care — we verify the exact institution and branch name against NMC guideline compliance, not just the parent university brand. Several Uzbek universities have branch campuses whose compliance status differs from the main campus; we check current NMC alerts and Indian Embassy advisories before any university is presented to you. We confirm in writing that the course is delivered in a single institution, that clinical training is not split across locations, and that the 12-month internship is completed at the same foreign university — all NMC requirements. We do not proceed with an admission until these are documented.
Uzbekistan
### 1. The Strongest Budget-to-Quality Ratio With total 6-year costs frequently falling under ₹25 Lakhs (including tuition and hostel), Uzbekistan provides a modern alternative to Kyrgyzstan, maintaining strict academic standards without the premium price tag of top-tier Russian universities. ### 2. 100% NMC Compliance & English Medium The 6-year MD (MBBS equivalent) curriculum strictly adheres to the NMC's Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate Regulations. All primary universities offer clinical exposure and instruction entirely in English, paired with local language classes for hospital interactions. ### 3. Exceptional Safety for International Students Uzbekistan ranks exceptionally high for safety, boasting very low violent crime rates. The society is culturally conservative but highly welcoming to Indians, with a heavy police presence ensuring strict public order. It is consistently rated by Indian female students as one of the most secure destinations in Central Asia. ### 4. Seamless Connectivity Direct flights run multiple times a week between New Delhi and Tashkent, dramatically reducing travel fatigue (approx. 3-hour flight times) compared to navigating internal regional flights in larger countries like Russia.
