    Given the ongoing Ukraine Russia conflict when everyone is looking to get out of there ASAP, this question may have lost its validity. But I need to remind everyone that soon this will all be over and Ukraine will once again be peaceful and safe to go.

    Whether or not Ukraine remains independent or comes under Russia, an MBBS in Ukraine will still remain valid in India. This is primarily because it fulfills all the requirements of the NMC Gazette 2021.

    This includes the course being more than 54 months/4.5 years long (5 years) and a compulsory internship of 1 year, as well as, the entire course is taught in the English language.

    Almost every Ukraine medical college is approved and accredited by the NMC, which also makes individuals eligible for the Indian licentiate exam i.e. FMGE / NEXT Exam. Being globally recognized medical degrees, students are also eligible for other licentiate exams like the USMLE (USA) and PLAB (UK).
