In an alert note dated 1 April 2026, NMC told Indian students to exercise extreme caution before taking MBBS-equivalent admission in Uzbekistan. The note says FMGL 2021 non-compliance on course duration, English-medium teaching, clinical training, or internship may make students ineligible for registration in India.

Accommodation in Uzbekistan
Accommodation quality varies widely by city and institution in Uzbekistan. We confirm the current hostel tariff, room-sharing policy, kitchen access, and genuine first-year allocation before presenting an offer — and we never let hostel terms distract from the more important FMGL-compliance assessment.
Scholarships and fee discounts in Uzbekistan are secondary to the compliance question. We assess whether the full academic and licensing pathway is FMGL-compliant first. Where a scholarship is offered, we obtain the written net payable amount and confirm that the university, branch, and course structure are acceptable for the India-return pathway before the offer is presented to a family.
What we check
Uzbekistan provides student visa categories issued on the request of the educational institution or another authorised organisation.
Confirm the student category
Ask the institution whether the STD temporary-study or A-1 study category applies to your programme and duration.
Obtain the institutional request
The educational institution starts the required request or invitation process with the competent Uzbek authorities.
Apply for the visa
Complete the official form and submit the passport and supporting documents through the Uzbek mission or applicable official channel.
Register after arrival
Complete temporary registration and maintain visa validity through the institution's international office.
Your city and university will affect your daily life, costs, food, safety and support.

International offices, emergency contacts and peer networks are central to settling in well.
A real student perspective
