MEDICINE / COUNTRY GUIDE
LSMU and Vilnius offer six-year English Medicine with Lithuanian clinical-language requirements. Entrance tests, recognition, residence permission and professional licensing are separate stages.
The directory counts cover selected international medicine routes. Any wider national reference has its own year and applicant scope. Separate faculties and entry routes may have separate profiles; current intake availability is stated in each profile.

Tests, requirements & exceptions ↓ADMISSION / AT A GLANCE
LSMU and Vilnius run separate admission assessments. A named qualification or high external score may exempt an applicant from the university test; it does not guarantee admission.
Admission sources checked . Each requirement retains its programme and intake scope.
Normally required: motivational interview, then 90-minute Biology/Chemistry test. Published test exemptions include NEET 650 or IMAT 57; confirm the remaining interview and English requirements.
Applies to: LSMU international Medicine applicants unless an accepted exemption applies
Official requirements for LSMU entrance test and interview ↗Normally required; listed alternative test results include NEET 650+, IMAT 50+ or MCAT 500+, valid for two years. Certain final school qualifications also qualify for exemption.
Applies to: Vilnius international Medicine; exemption assessment is programme-specific
Official requirements for Vilnius Medicine entrance examination ↗An admission test, language requirement and medical licensing examination serve different purposes. For Indian citizens and OCI applicants, NEET eligibility is a separate India-return planning requirement; it does not automatically replace the destination university’s selection.
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. An internship certificate or six-year course length does not establish a full 12-month foreign internship. Check supervised-practice status, Lithuanian language and lawful work eligibility.

LSMU in Kaunas and Vilnius University offer integrated English Medicine. The academic programme includes biomedical and clinical study; a graduate’s permitted clinical scope is governed by professional licensing, not by the marketing name of the degree.
LSMU requests Biology/Chemistry records and also describes Mathematics knowledge as important. Its page retains differing English certificate descriptions, including B1/B2 and different TOEFL formats. Obtain confirmation of the accepted current score rather than treating one copied value as a universal waiver.
Vilnius uses its own university assessment and lists English proofs and qualification conditions. The published age-of-school-qualification rule matters for applicants who have already taken several gap years.

LSMU’s online selection includes a motivational interview and a 90-minute test with 30 Biology and 30 Chemistry MCQs. An English assessment may be required. Its NEET 650 exemption is an examination-exemption threshold, not the qualifying NEET score for all applicants.
Vilnius lists its own entrance assessment and high-score exemptions, including NEET 650+, IMAT 50+ and MCAT 500+. Verify the current exemption in the relevant call; old references to discontinued exams should not drive preparation.

LSMU has now published its 2027 calendar: applications open 1 November 2026 and close at 00:00 on 6 July 2027. Its earlier pending-calendar note below is retained as historical context; Vilnius remains separate. Read the update and official source ↑
LSMU’s 2026 regular deadline was 6 July, followed by a selected-programme round ending 30 July. The reviewed page has not established its 2027 application calendar.
Vilnius’s supplied 2026 non-EU example used 1 May as application deadline and 14 May as the final eligible test date. A 2027 place or test slot must be confirmed from a new call.

LSMU’s listed six-year tuition totals €78,300 under the 2026/27 schedule; its application and registration charges are €150 and €250. Vilnius’s €14,100 current annual price gives €84,600 over six years only if unchanged. Do not treat either calculation as a guaranteed all-in cost.
| University | Tuition basis | Separate application/test charges |
|---|---|---|
| LSMU | €12,800/year, years 1–3; €13,300/year, years 4–6 — 2026/27 | €150 application; €250 registration |
| Vilnius | €14,100/year — 2026/27 benchmark | €100 application; €200 entrance examination in supplied schedule |

The university evaluates foreign qualifications. For an India-issued certificate used by a student living in Oman, organise authentication according to the certificate’s issuer rather than treating country of residence as the issuing authority.
For the long Medicine course, prepare the study temporary-residence application through MIGRIS. LSMU’s reproduced external-service list includes India but not Oman; the competent authority must confirm where an Oman resident can lodge.

Academic English does not remove clinical Lithuanian requirements. Vilnius’s source contains both B1 and B2 descriptions at the six-semester point; obtain the current progression standard and prepare for the higher language demand.
LSMU describes Lithuanian-language residency with B2 required. A student who intends to remain for specialty training should plan language study throughout the degree.
LSMU’s linked practice regulation describes clinical practice and certification, including the possibility of approved external placements. It does not independently establish a full 12-calendar-month foreign internship for every student.
Before taking a placement outside Lithuania, assess the Indian return rules for the institution/country of training. Retain the programme-specific dates, rotations, hours, qualification status and completion certificate.
VASPVT’s guidance, updated 5 October 2026, requires a foreign applicant to provide identity/citizenship evidence, lawful residence and work eligibility, the relevant Lithuanian-language evidence, medical qualification and health documentation. Its listed licence fee is €20.
A Lithuanian degree, an English transcript or a post-study residence document does not by itself satisfy all of these requirements. Ask which scope the initial licence permits and what further residency is needed.

Use the €500–800 monthly country estimate as a starting budget, then replace housing and utilities with actual Kaunas/Vilnius quotes. The estimate is not the Migration Department’s required proof-of-means threshold.
Graduate job-search residence and specialty-training admission are separate processes. The official country guidance describes the immigration route; neither a residency job nor an independent medical practice right follows automatically.
