Universiti Malaya
Admission, a directory listing or a foreign degree is not a guarantee of Indian registration. Indian citizens and OCI applicants planning India return must assess the exact programme, internship and local professional status against the applicable NMC rules before paying. The practical bottleneck is a lawful foreign housemanship placement and the resulting professional status. An offer of admission does not resolve it; overseas attachments and transfers also need individual scrutiny.
