MBBS University Transfer 2025: A Guide for Students (Including BSMU & CFU) 📞 Guidance and Support +91-7877535751
This video provides essential information for MBBS students abroad, especially those at universities like Bashkir State Medical University (BSMU) and Crimean Federal University (CFU), who are considering transferring. The focus is on compliance with the strict NMC Gazette (Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate Regulations, 2021), which governs Indian medical students studying abroad.

✅ Common Reasons for University Transfer
The video addresses various reasons students seek to transfer, which may be particularly relevant for students currently enrolled:

Academic: Low education quality, unfair exams, or over-admission of students.

Operational: Hostel and food issues, or language barrier (if the primary clinical instruction is not in English).

Personal/Financial: Financial reasons or safety concerns.

Career: Seeking better career opportunities or university standing.

⚠️ Major Changes & Strict Rules After NMC Gazette (Nov 18, 2021)
This section is CRUCIAL for students, particularly those who joined after November 18, 2021. The NMC Gazette has introduced significant limitations on transfers.

Key NMC Regulations Impacting Transfers:
Strict Restriction on Transfers: The 2021 Regulations imply a very strict "no-transfer" policy for students covered under them. A Foreign Medical Graduate (FMG) must complete the entire undergraduate medical training, internship, and clerkship in the same foreign medical institution and the same country where they took admission. No part of the medical training or internship should be done in India or in any other country.

FMGE/NExT Eligibility: For a foreign medical degree to be eligible for licensing in India (via FMGE/NExT), the course must:

Be equivalent to the MBBS curriculum prescribed by NMC.

Be a minimum of 54 months of theoretical/practical training.

Include a 12-month compulsory rotating internship/clinical clerkship in the same foreign country where the medical qualification is awarded.

The entire course must be conducted in the English medium.

The student must be eligible for registration/license to practice medicine in the country where the degree is awarded, and this license must be valid for at least 10 years.

Transfer Eligibility (Pre- and Post-Gazette):
Students who joined BEFORE Nov 18, 2021: These students are generally governed by the previous Screening Test Regulations, 2002. They typically face fewer restrictions on university transfer between foreign universities, provided other academic provisions are met (e.g., credit transfer).

Students who joined AFTER Nov 18, 2021: These students fall under the Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate Regulations, 2021, which strictly mandate completion of the entire course in the same institution and country. Transferring would likely render their qualification invalid for practice in India under the current NMC rules.

📄 Step-by-Step Documents Required for Transfer (General List)
While the new NMC rules restrict transfers, the general documents often required by the universities (when transfer is allowed) include:

Passport and Visa copy.

12th Marksheet (with Apostille/Legalisation).

NEET Result (Mandatory for Indian students).

Transcript: Official academic record from the current university.

NOC (No Objection Certificate): From both the relieving university/college and the receiving university/college.

Admission Letter & Invitation from the new university.

(Note: A formal NOC from the NMC is not required for a transfer between two overseas medical universities, as these institutions are outside the purview of the NMC.)

💡 Important Tips for Choosing a New University Safely
If you are an eligible student planning to transfer, the video advises:

Verify NMC Compliance: Ensure the new university meets ALL criteria of the NMC Gazette 2021 (54 months course + 12 months in-country internship, English medium, licensing in that country).

Check Credit Transfer: Confirm that the new university will accept and grant credit for the subjects and academic years already completed.

Consult Experts: Seek guidance from reliable consultants who are fully aware of the latest NMC rules and the specific credit transfer policies of the universities.
