NMC Provides Conflicting Responses on Validity of Georgia MBBS Degrees for Indian Practice
The National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued conflicting responses regarding the validity of six-year MBBS degrees from Georgia for eligibility to take the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) in India. While one reply stated the degree is valid only if Georgia grants an independent medical licence, another said this provision is under review by an expert committee. Legal experts warn that this ambiguity allows education consultants to mislead students about the recognition of foreign medical degrees, raising concerns about informed decision-making.
