The Indian Embassy in Tashkent has issued an advisory urging students to thoroughly verify the credentials of medical universities in Uzbekistan before enrolling. This advisory comes amid rising concerns about potential violations of the Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate (FMGL) Regulations set by India's National Medical Commission (NMC). With an estimated 21,000 Indians, including 16,300 students, residing in Uzbekistan, the embassy emphasized the need for vigilance against misleading agents. Students are advised to ensure that their chosen institutions are not exceeding their admission capacities and that their degrees will be recognized for practice in India. The embassy has noted a significant increase in Indian students opting for medical education in Uzbekistan, which has led to the emergence of numerous new universities. The advisory includes an eight-point checklist for students to confirm their eligibility for licensure in India and encourages them to report any concerns to the embassy. Additionally, the embassy plans to offer psychological counseling sessions and launch a dedicated Telegram channel for students.
