International medical admissions for the 2026–27 academic session are underway at institutions across Georgia, Russia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, with official university portals publishing current intake, programme and admission information for foreign applicants.

In Georgia, Tbilisi State Medical University (TSMU) states on its official website that admission for the 2026–27 fall intake is open. The university lists an English-medium Medical Doctor programme for international students. Its international admission process requires documents including a passport and high-school certificate, along with the university’s specified language and application requirements.

In Russia, Sechenov University has published its 2026–27 international admissions information and lists General Medicine among its English-taught programmes. The university states that the General Medicine programme is full-time and has a duration of six years. Admission deadlines can vary according to an applicant’s admission conditions.

Kyrgyz State Medical Academy (KSMA) has also published its 2026 admission framework. Its official international-applicant information lists document filing for English-language programmes from July 1 to October 1, with entrance examinations scheduled from September 1 to October 15 and enrolment up to October 15. KSMA’s required-document list specifically includes NEET results for citizens of India.

In Kazakhstan, Asfendiyarov Kazakh National Medical University reported in June 2026 that five service providers had successfully passed its selection process for attracting and supporting foreign citizens for study during the 2026–27 academic year, indicating active preparations for international enrolment.

For Indian candidates, the National Medical Commission (NMC) remains the key regulatory authority governing eligibility for registration in India after a foreign medical qualification. NMC states that it does not endorse any list of foreign medical institutions. It also says Indian citizens and Overseas Citizens of India seeking admission to a primary medical qualification abroad on or after May 2018 must qualify NEET.

Under the Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate Regulations framework, NMC’s published FAQs specify a minimum 54-month medical course, a 12-month internship at the same foreign medical institution, English as the medium of instruction, prescribed subjects and required clinical training conditions. Foreign medical graduates must also complete a supervised internship in India for at least 12 months and satisfy the applicable licensing or screening requirements.

The National Testing Agency has released the NEET (UG) 2026 score card, making the current foreign medical admission cycle relevant for Indian candidates who meet the applicable NMC and overseas university requirements.
