Entrance tests and applying
RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences
For RCSI’s privately funded non-EU school-leaver route, apply through the correct direct/region-specific channel and register separately for Casper. The published 2027 sitting is 17 January, with registration before the 15 January application deadline. The five- or six-year track depends on the school qualification.
This is not the four-year GEM route. A non-EU applicant who has already completed an undergraduate degree is directed to GEM under RCSI’s current policy, not to this school-leaver route.
See test requirements →Returning to practise in India
RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences
An Irish degree does not guarantee an internship or complete the Indian return pathway. Four-year graduate-entry medicine needs particular review against the applicable medical-course duration rule; prior non-medical study cannot simply be added.
