24.02.2014 Subject: Enrolment of Medical Practitioners holding recognized medical qualifications

Sir/Madam, This is in continuation of this office circular date 15/9/1981, 02/05/1985, 09/02/1987,
07/1998 and 04/06/2003 on the above subject. 2. Your kind attention is invited to section 13(4A) and
13 (4B) of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 that were included in the IMC Act, 1956 by the Indian
Medical Council (Amendment) Act, 2001. These provisions permit an Indian citizen/overseas citizen
of India to obtain primary medical qualification (MBBS or its equivalent) from any country outside
India which is recognized for enrolment as medical practitioner in that country. Such persons are
required to conform to the norms for admission in MBBS course in India as laid down in the Graduate
Medical Education Regulation, 1997. For the purpose of enrolment on medical register in India such
person is required to qualify the Screening Test conducted by the National Board of Examination.
Once such person qualifies the Screening Test, the primary medical qualification obtained by such
person is deemed to be the recognized medical qualification for the purposes of the IMC Act for that
person. Registration to practice medicine as a registered medical practitioner, as postulated under
the scheme of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956, is with the State Medical Council and to be
made in the State Medical Register. Consequently, section 15 of the IMC Act confers on such person
the right for enrolment on the State Medical Register and by the State Medical Council upon
satisfaction of fulfilment of all the requirements by any applicant, for seeking such registration.
Similarly, grant of provisional registration by the State Medical Council is provided under section 25
(I) of the Indian Medical Council Act. 1956. 3. Accordingly, this is to bring to the attention of all the
concerned that the holders of primary medical qualifications (MBBS or its equivalent) from the any
country outside India, which is recognized for enrolment as medical practitioner in that country and
who have qualified the Screening Test conduced by the National Board of Examination are required
to be mandatorily enrolled on the State Medical Register by the State Medical Council upon
satisfaction of fulfilment of all the requirements by any applicant, for seeking such registration.
Therefore, State Medical Councils are requested to enrol such medical practitioners on their
Registers and 134 एफ़एमजीई जून 2025/FMGE June 2025 thereafter communicate the information of
such enrolment to the Medical Council of India in accordance with the provisions of the Indian
Medical Council Act. 1956. In doing so, the State Medical Councils are advised to necessarily ensure
following procedural checks before granting provisional/permanent registration: (1) That the
applicant who has gone abroad from 15.03.2002 to 14.05.2013 had obtained an Eligibility Certificate
from the Medical Council of India. Further, those going abroad on or after 15 May 2013 conform to /
fulfill all the rooms laid down in the Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 1997 for admission in
MBBS course. (2) That the foreign medical qualification obtained by the applicant is recognized for
enrolment as medical practitioner in that country and confirmation from the Indian Embassy has
been obtained to the effect that the degree awarded by the foreign Medical Institution is recognized
for enrolment an medical practitioner is that Country. (3) That the applicant has qualified the
Screening Test conducted by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences. (4) That the
primary medical qualification obtained by the applicant is either apostilled in accordance with the
requirements of Hague Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for
Foreign Public Document (Apostille Convention) or are duly attested by the Indian Embassy of the
foreign nation from which such qualification has been obtained. (5) That the authenticity of 10+2
mark sheet and certificate are verified from the concerned Board. (6) That the caste certificate of

permitted under the MCI Regulations, is sought. 4. In so far as grant of provisional registration under
section 25(1) of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 is concerned, provision of Regulation 65 of MCI
Regulations 2000, shall also be required to be complied with and which provides as under:
