Monno Medical College (MoMC), Manikganj: MBBS Fees, Admission and FMGE Review for Indian Students

Monno Medical College at a glance

Monno Medical College (MoMC) is a private medical college at Monno City, Gilondo, Manikganj, in Dhaka division, Bangladesh. It runs the standard Bangladeshi MBBS: five years of study followed by a one-year internship, taught in English, and admits foreign students under the national admission policy.

What makes Monno easy to evaluate is its published fee schedule for foreign students, with separate figures for Indian and Nepalese students, and a steady FMGE record above Bangladesh's average.

How much does Monno Medical College cost?

Monno's page "Financial information of MBBS course for foreign students (Session: 2025-2026)" lists:

Admission fees are payable in full at admission. For an Indian student who completes on time and interns at Monno, the package is about $47,250 (≈ ₹44.4 lakh), or roughly $9,000 a year for tuition and hostel during the study years. Food is paid at actual cost, and books, visas and travel are extra.

For context, Monno's local fee schedule (citing a 2023 government decision) charges Bangladeshi students an admission fee of Tk 19,44,000 plus monthly tuition and hostel. Compare countries on our MBBS abroad fees page.

Eligibility and admission process

Monno follows Bangladesh's "admission policy of MBBS/BDS course 2025-2026" for foreign students. Under the DGME circular for private colleges:

1. Merit by GPA: aggregate GPA of at least 7.0 across Class 10 (top five subjects) and Class 12 (Physics, Chemistry, Biology), with neither exam below 3.50 and Biology at GP 3.50 (60%) or more.
2. Online application at foreignstudents.dgme.gov.bd; for 2025-26 the window was 11 November 2025 to 15 January 2026.
3. Documents attested by your country's Ministry of Education and Ministry of External Affairs, and a US$100 application fee by bank transfer.
4. Admission at the college with original documents; for 2025-26, private colleges admitted until 19 February 2026.

Indian citizens also need a qualifying NEET-UG score to be eligible for FMGE later. See NEET for MBBS abroad and the Bangladesh hub for the GPA conversion table.

FMGE performance of Monno graduates

Bangladesh overall: about 32% in 2024 and 33% in 2025; all countries about 21.5% in 2025 (NBEMS). Monno's results are steady across sessions, which matters more than a single strong year. See the FMGE guide.

FMGL 2021 fit and the internship question

Five years of English-medium study (60 months) exceeds FMGL 2021's 54-month minimum, and the one-year internship completes the structure. The detail to watch is the internship: Monno charges its internship fee only "if doing internship at MoMC Hospital", implying some foreign students intern elsewhere. FMGL requires the internship at the same institution, so Indian students should plan to intern at Monno's own hospital. After returning, you still need to pass FMGE and complete the 12-month internship in India.

Also ask the college how foreign graduates register with the Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council, because FMGL requires licence eligibility in the country of study.

Life at Monno

Manikganj lies west of Dhaka, so students get a quieter campus with the capital within reach for flights and shopping. Teaching is in English, while patients speak Bengali; students from West Bengal and Tripura will feel at home with the language and food. The monsoon (roughly June to October) is hot and wet. Keep an eye on Indian High Commission advisories during periods of political unrest.

Checklist before you pay

1. Confirm the college appears in the current DGME circular's list of private colleges and seats for foreign students.
2. Check your GPA against the DGME conversion table (top five Class 10 subjects; Class 12 PCB) before spending on applications.
3. Get the fee schedule from the college's own website or letterhead and pay only to the college's bank account.
4. Ask for written confirmation that your 12-month internship will be at the college's own hospital.
5. Look up the college in the NBEMS FMGE institute-wise reports and in WDOMS (search.wdoms.org).
6. Keep NEET-UG valid: your score counts for three years for admission abroad.
