Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about MBBS at Izhevsk SMA
"NMC approved" is not a status that exists - NMC publishes no approved list of foreign universities and says so on its own study-abroad page. What decides your registration in India is whether your degree meets the FMGL-2021 criteria: at least 54 months of study, a 12-month internship at the same institution, English medium, and a qualification licensing you to practise in Russia. Izhevsk SMA is listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools (FAIMER SCHOOL ID F0000297). Run the full FMGL-2021 checklist at nmc.org.in before paying anything - A.J Trust verifies these criteria for every university it recommends.
