The 5 rules · FMGL 2021
What a programme has to satisfy
These are the conditions a foreign medical programme must meet for an Indian graduate to be eligible. Not a country test — a programme test.
01
One continuous course — No separate pre-medical stage bolted on to the front.
02
At least 54 months — The course duration must meet the minimum.
03
English, every year — One medium of instruction, right through the course.
04
12-month internship there — Same country, same college, not moved elsewhere.
05
Can register locally — On the same terms as that country’s own graduates.

“You won’t be handed to a call-centre agent. The call is with someone who has read the regulations and read the college’s papers.”
✓ Reviews the college’s documentation against FMGL 2021 personally
✓ Will tell you if this route does not suit your score or budget
✓ One person through the whole process — no handover chain
The call
Fifteen minutes, spent like this
Short on purpose. It exists to tell you whether this route fits — not to sell you into it. Nothing is payable at any point in this call.
Min 1–4
Your position — NEET score, budget range, and which state you’re in.
Min 5–11
Your shortlist, against the 5 rules — Read out any college names you’re considering, including ones we don’t represent. We tell you which of the five rules you need to get in writing from them.
Min 12–15
What to do next — Either a longer documents session with us, or the exact list of questions to put to every other consultant you meet.
Bring your NEET scorecard and your shortlist. Nothing else needed.

What changes
Fifteen minutes changes what you know — not what you’ve spent.
We can’t promise you an admission, a seat or an exam result, and neither can anyone else. What we can promise is that you stop guessing.
Before the call
Six consultants. Six different answers.
✕ Every brochure says the college is approved — no way to tell which claim is real.
✕ No idea which questions actually decide eligibility, so you ask the wrong ones.
✕ One consultant says the internship can be done in India. Another says it can’t.
✕ A deposit is due this week and nobody has shown you a single document.
✕ You don’t even know whether your NEET score fits this route.
Deciding on trust, because there’s nothing else to decide on.
After the call · 15 minutes later
The same decision, made on paper.
✓ You know the five FMGL 2021 rules by name and what each one actually means.
✓ You have a written list of what to demand from any college, in writing.
✓ You know which rule each college on your shortlist has not answered yet.
✓ You know whether your score and budget fit this route — or that they don’t.
✓ You can test our answers the same way you test everyone else’s.
Still ₹0 paid. Still nothing committed.

Country check
What to ask for, wherever you’re looking
No country is automatically ruled in or out. The answer changes college by college — so ask for that specific college’s current papers, in writing.

How it works
Four steps, no surprises
You can stop at any step. Nothing is payable until you’ve seen every document.
Step 1
Free 15-minute clarity call
Your score, budget and shortlist checked against the five rules.
Step 2
Documents session
A longer call where we put the paper for each rule on the screen and read it with you: course, duration, medium, internship, recognition, and the full itemised fee.
Step 3
Application
We prepare and submit your file, and tell you exactly what each stage costs before it is incurred.
Step 4
Visa & departure
Documentation, travel and campus arrival handled with you, not left to you.
Why Timor-Leste
Nalanda, built around all five rules
The course structure is built to meet NMC’s FMGL 2021 requirements. That is the reason we work with this campus and no other.

₹18,76,500
Total education fee, full MBBS programme
Hostel, food, visa, travel and documentation are separate from this and are given to you in writing on the call. We quote the exact figure rather than a rounded one, so nothing appears later as a surprise.
Parents ask
Short answers
Is an MBBS from other countries invalid in India?
No. What decides it is whether the programme meets FMGL 2021 and whether the graduate clears the screening examination. The rules matter more than the country name.
Does my child still have to clear an exam in India?
Yes — every foreign medical graduate does. Nobody can promise you an outcome on that. Anyone who does is selling you something.
What NEET score is needed?
The student must qualify NEET. Bring the scorecard to the call and we will tell you plainly whether this route fits.
What documents will you show us?
Course structure, duration, medium of instruction, internship details and the college’s own recognition papers. We cite only our own evidence.
Is ₹18,76,500 the final amount?
It is the complete education fee for the full programme. Hostel, food, visa, travel and documentation are separate, and are given to you in writing before you commit to anything.
Why only 15 minutes?
Because 15 minutes is enough to tell you whether this route fits your score and budget, and that is the only decision the first call needs to make. The document review is a separate, longer session — and it is also free.
Can both parents and the student join?
Yes, and we’d prefer it. Evening slots exist for exactly that reason.
