Yes, MBBS abroad is valid in India — provided the medical university is recognized by the National Medical Commission (NMC) (formerly MCI). After completing your MBBS abroad, Indian students must clear the FMGE (Foreign Medical Graduate Examination) to practice medicine or pursue higher studies in India.

The best country for MBBS abroad depends on your budget, language preference, and career goals. However, popular and reliable options include: Russia – Affordable fees, globally recognized degrees, and English-medium programs. Georgia – Modern infrastructure, high FMGE pass rates, and student-friendly environment. Kazakhstan – Low tuition, quality education, and growing popularity among Indian students. Kyrgyzstan – Budget-friendly, good practical exposure, and NMC-approved universities. Uzbekistan – Emerging destination with quality institutions and affordable living costs. All these countries offer NMC-approved programs and are well-suited for Indian students aiming for a medical career.
