Read your posts. How can MCI award recognition to PG Degrees in Nepal when none of PG Degrees obtained abroad are recognised by MCI till date ?
Can you clarify on this, else explain your stand clearly.
I think you are not having clear concept about india nepal relations .MCI has not only recognised various UG and pg programs in nepal but India is also running med college in nepal in govt colaboration
I wish you are right on the matter of PG Recognition in Nepal by MCI.
It has been posted on this forum many times over and MCI office guys say any PG degree outside the country is not recognised even if its FRCS/FRCP/American Fellowship too like many other PG degrees in numerous countries.
You are right for MBBS abroad since now they have got in the provision of MCI Screening test for them to obtain MCI Recognition and practice in India legally.
Correct me if I am wrong on this and kindly give us more information if you think otherwise.
its true that mci recognised many of the nepal pg degrees under the mci amendment of “reciprocal recognition of the foreign degrees”. it is likely that with political changes in nepal and possibility of still better indo-nepal relations in future, there can be still more increasing recognition of this type in future.
u can watch out for the details of the new pg programme started by the manipal group with the kathmandu university in my post.
Kindly state where you have seen the info about reciprocal recognition of foreign medical degrees by MCI.
Is only Nepal included or any other countries too? And is it for PG as well?
the resciprocal recognition if for ug courses only. and that too only from particular institutes in nepal. for eg iom.
u can get more information about the reciprocal recognition from the mci act of 1956 (see the mci website ). such instututions like some us medical boards and some degrees given by the royal college of uk are included in the schedule 2 of this act. even dnb prospectus ( at eligibitlity for part 2 exam ) states that training from those institutions outside india but included in the schedule 2 of mci act will be approved by the dnb board. so it works at the pg level also. there is definitely a chance for other foreign degrees to get recgnd in future. but i have not gone so far to know what all insitutions r recognised in this manner. the mci people or the particular institution in which u r trying to join must help u in this matter.
this is the very question i have. where can i get the concrete news of its mci recognition other than the institution itself.
there is certianly a provision in the mci act to recognise pg courses outside india , given in the mci website, though the list of the various courses and colleges recgnd in such manner is not given - it may be got from the mci office. i’m giving that piece of matter here:
THE INDIAN MEDICAL COUNCIL ACT, 1956
(102 of 1956)
30th December, 1956
(As amended by the
Indian Medical Council (Amendment) Acts, 1964, 1993 & 2001)
AN ACT TO PROVIDE FOR THE RECONSTITUTION OF THE MEDICAL COUNCIL OF INDIA AND THE MAINTENANCE OF A MEDICAL REGISTER FOR INDIA AND FOR MATTERS CONNECTED THEREWITH.
Be it enacted by Parliament in the seventh year of the Republic of India as follows:-
RECOGNITION OF MEDICAL QUALIFICATIONS GRANTED BY MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS IN COUNTRIES WITH WHICH THERE IS A SCHEME OF RECIPROCITY
The medical qualifications granted by medical institutions outside India which are included in the Second Schedule shall be recognised medical qualifications for the purposes of this Act.
The Council may enter into negotiations with the Authority in any country outside India which by the law of such country is entrusted with the maintenance of a register of medical practitioners, for the settling of a scheme of reciprocity for the recognition of medical qualifications and in pursuance of any such scheme, the Central Government may, by notification in the official Gazette, amend the Second Schedule so as to include therein the medical qualification which the Council has decided should be recognised and any such notification may also direct that an entry shall be made in the last column of the Second Schedule against such medical qualification declaring that it shall be a recognised medical qualification only when granted after a specified date.
The Central Government, after consultation with the Council, may, by notification in the Official Gazette, amend the Second Schedule by directing that an entry be made therein in respect of any medical qualification declaring that it shall be recognised medical qualification only when granted before a specified date.
Where the Council has refused to recommend any medical qualification which has been proposed for recognition by any Authority referred to in sub-section (2) and that Authority applies to the Central Government in this behalf, the Central Government, after considering such application and after obtaining from the council a report, if any, as to the reasons for any such refusal, may by notification in the Official Gazette, amend the Second Schedule so as to include such qualification therein and the provisions of sub-section (2) shall apply to such notification.
SPECIAL PROVISION IN CERTAIN CASES FOR RECOGNITION OF MEDICAL QUALIFICATIONS GRANTED BY MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS IN COUNTRIES WITH WHICH THERE IS NO SCHEME OF RECIPROCITY.
The Central Government after consultation with the Council, may, by notification in the Official Gazette, direct that medical qualifications granted by medical institutions in any country out-side India in respect of which a scheme of reciprocity for the recognition of medical qualifications is not in force, shall be recognised medical qualification for the purposes of this Act or shall be so only when granted after a specified date:
Provided that medical practice by persons possessing such qualifications: -
shall be permitted only if such persons are enrolled as medical practitioners in accordance with the law regulating the registration of medical practitioners for the time being in force in that country;
shall be limited to the institution to which they are attached for the time being for the purposes of teaching, research or charitable work ; and
shall be limited to the period specified in this behalf by the Central Government by general or special order.
In respect of any such medical qualification the Central Government, after consultation with the Council may, by notification in the Official Gazette direct that it shall be a recognised medical qualification only when granted before a specified date.

I’m at BPKIHS, Dharan, Nepal. Out here a few departments have been recognised by MCI and others are in the process.
Indian candidates can take PG seats here but they donot get any stipend.
the fees comes to around 4500 usd per year and u have to pay it at the start of the year. and the stipend is around 10000 nc which comes to a lil more than 6000 inr…

When is the exam this year?Any idea of MCI recognition for any of their degrees?MCI officials have confirmed that its not recognised.In that case whats the whole deal of doing a PG which is not recognised??
Can someone guide me on this issue of MCI recognition for Nepal. I contacted th MCI and they told me that IOM is not recognised and neither is any other college in Nepal for PG. They plainly told that its not possible to register with the MCI after your PG from Nepal. So, whats the way out if your join Nepal??? Snehay, would you please reply?
hi there can u confirm regarding this thing about this pg frm nepal being mci recognised?
till date as far as i know no pg frm nepal is mci recognised how can u say so ?although fr tha ug level i understand few colleges r mci recognised but this thingy bout pg i doubt do u have anything to say?
It has been a known fact and written all over this website by many that PG and Super PG done in any country outside India is presently " not recognised" by MCI.
Did you know that it was not MCI that is responsible for recognising or not recognising UG/PG/Super PG abroad, and MCI is a regulatory body that was established under Central Govt of India to forsee and regulate Medical Education/colleges/teachers/ in “India.” ?
In fact it was the Central Govt of India which had taken a decision earlier to start a Screening test for doctors who obtained MBBS/MD/MBBCh ( all Undergraduate level) abroad. And the legislation by court and Central Govt had directed National Board to conduct the test and MCI to grant recognition status for these doctors who qualify the test.
We need to understand that it is the Central Govt ( concerned Ministry) and legislature machinery in India that are the first to take decisions in this regard of PG and Super PG too. And then further - for them to direct the MCI and National Board to do the required.
How can MCI say FRCS/FICS/MRCP or any PG degree abroad would be recognised or not, when bilateral and mutual recognition of medical degrees is not a law in India with any country abroad.
Everything will not be available in the net. I too did my own homework with Senior Doctors in practice, Lawyers and Doctors in State Medical Councils and MCI/National Board too.
For more on this issue, befriend the Registrar of your State Medical Council to procure info on present laws pertaining to Doctors and practising in India.
MCI has granted recognition to quite a number of PG courses done abroad, American boards, certain univ in Germany etc. You can get a complete list at the official website of MCI. Unfortunately none of the PG programs in Nepal are recognised as claimed by the author of this thread and several others. What you are talking is of norms and those are just in black and white unless a screening test for PG done abroad is instituted. So as of now its non existing. Laws take pretty long time to be implemented incase you didnt know, this is India my dear!
MCI is more of a mafia than a regulatory body. So the final say is that as of now all the PG programs done abroad barring a few are unrecognised!!
i too agree with zittsurk studying 4 almost 3 yrs and not getting a recognised degree !!! what will we do ?,we will be left of nowhere
cud u pls tell whether the new law will b for already doing or for future candidates also?r da laws been implemented now 4 post pg screening wen returning to india?
IOM , KATHMANDU NEPAL DEGREES ARE NOT RECOGNISED BY MCI TILL DATE. RECOGNITION IS UNDER PRECASS SINCE LAST MANY YEARS. hENCE TAKE NOTE AND THAN APPLY FOR IOM P G DEGREES.
Thanks for ur enquiry, IOM P. G degrees r not recognised by MCI till date. MCI inspected 6 depts. in may 2006 due to pressure of delhi high court due to a case filed by us. MCI didnt gave satisfactory reports as it seems they want financial obligation from IOM nepal. In abscence of mci recognition it is not at all advisable to take addmission in pg courses and waste u r valuable time and money. (fee is us dollor 4500 / year).Also there is a highly anti india emotion among kathmandu people, even after every possible support from indin govt. to nepal.
Hope this information is of some use to u ,always feel free to write me
