🛑 NMC Advisory 2025: Avoid Admission in 4 Foreign Medical Colleges | Belize & Uzbekistan Institutes Blacklisted

📌 Introduction

Are you planning to pursue MBBS abroad in 2025–26? Then this is a must-read! The National Medical Commission (NMC) has released a crucial advisory dated 21st July 2025, warning Indian students against taking admission in four specific foreign medical colleges located in Belize and Uzbekistan.

The NMC has blacklisted these institutions due to major concerns like lack of infrastructure, non-compliance with FMGL Regulations, and harassment of Indian students. If you take admission in these universities, your registration in India may be denied, even after completing your MBBS degree.

⚠️ What is the NMC Advisory 2025?

The Undergraduate Medical Education Board (UGMEB) of the NMC issued an official alert reminding students to follow the Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate (FMGL) Regulations, 2021. These regulations are mandatory for any Indian student pursuing an MBBS degree abroad who wishes to practice in India later.

Despite repeated warnings, many Indian students were found enrolling in foreign universities that fail to meet these standards, risking their future.

🚫 NMC Blacklisted Medical Colleges – July 2025

Based on information received from the Indian Embassy in Mexico and the Eurasia Division of the Ministry of External Affairs, the following medical universities have been flagged and should be strictly avoided:

🔴 In Belize:

  1. Central American Health and Sciences University
  2. Columbus Central University
  3. Washington University of Health and Sciences

🔴 In Uzbekistan:

  1. Chirchik Branch of Tashkent State Medical University

❌ Why Were These Medical Colleges Blacklisted?

NMC has reported multiple serious concerns, including:

  • ❌ Non-compliance with FMGL Regulations, 2021
  • ❌ No proper campus infrastructure or facilities
  • ❌ Poor quality clinical training and education
  • ❌ Excessive fee charges and no refund policies
  • ❌ Reports of harassment of Indian students

Taking admission in these institutions can make students ineligible for registration with NMC in India.

🧾 What is FMGL Regulations 2021?

FMGL Regulations are the official criteria set by the NMC that foreign medical graduates must follow to be eligible for registration in India. Key points include:

  • 📚 Minimum course duration (54 months)
  • 🧑‍🏫 English as the medium of instruction
  • 🏥 Proper clinical training & internship
  • ✅ University recognition & infrastructure

Any university failing to meet these standards is not recognized by NMC, and its degrees will not be valid for practice in India.

📢 NMC’s Strong Message to Students & Parents

  • 📌 Always check the latest advisory on the NMC website before applying to any foreign university.
  • 📌 Never enroll in a foreign medical institution without validating FMGL compliance.
  • 📌 Contact the Indian Embassy in the concerned country for updated recognition status.
  • 📌 If you’re already enrolled in a blacklisted college, evaluate your options immediately and take corrective action.
