Frequently asked questions

Straight answers from our Dubai-based Uzbekistan admission counsellors.

MBBS from WHO/WFME-listed Uzbek medical universities is eligible for FMGE/NExT in India and can be used for UAE DHA/MOH equivalency, subject to individual profile review. Our team verifies the university's listing before shortlisting.

Indian passport holders must qualify NEET to be eligible to practice in India after graduation. UAE-based students of other nationalities do not need NEET for admission to Uzbek universities.

Tashkent is considered one of the safer capital cities in the region, with a growing international student community — including many from the UAE, India and Africa.
