Editorial policy
How we research, check and update every page — so you can judge how far to trust it.
1. Source hierarchy
- Regulators and governments: National Medical Commission (nmc.org.in) gazette notifications and public notices, NBEMS (natboard.edu.in) results, host-country ministries and medical councils, embassies.
- Universities: official admission pages and fee schedules for international students.
- International directories: World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS), ECFMG, WFME, GMC.
- Reputable press for news and statistics (e.g. Medical Dialogues, Careers360 News, national newspapers).
- Aggregators and consultant sites only to discover leads — never as the sole source for a number.
2. Fact-checking
Every fee, duration, pass rate and rule on a page links to at least one source in its "Sources" list. When sources disagree we show a range and say so. When we cannot verify something, we leave it out. Each page displays the date it was last checked.
3. Fees methodology
Fees are converted to US dollars where universities publish in other currencies, and to rupees at one site-wide rate (currently ₹94 per US dollar, November 2026). "Total course" means tuition plus university hostel for the full programme. Fees change every year — always confirm the schedule for your intake with the university in writing.
4. How we assess NMC fit
The National Medical Commission does not approve foreign universities. We compare typical programmes in each country against the FMGL Regulations 2021 (duration, internship at the same institution, English medium, licence eligibility) and NMC advisories, and label the fit Good, Mixed or Poor. This is our assessment, not an official status — the programme you join is what counts.
5. Updates
We review country and rules pages at least every six months and immediately after NMC notices, FMGE results or major events affecting students (conflicts, visa changes, advisories).
6. Independence
Universities cannot buy coverage, rankings or wording. Counselling requests are handled by an admissions platform (see About); that relationship never changes editorial content.
7. Corrections
If you spot an error, contact us with a source. Verified corrections are made promptly and the "last checked" date is updated.
8. Use of AI tools
We use software, including AI tools, to help collect sources and draft text. Every published figure must trace back to a cited source; pages are written to be checked, not trusted blindly.
