For Nepalese students who study MBBS abroad and wish to practice in Nepal, the Nepal Medical Council (NMC) has specific criteria for obtaining a medical license. Here’s a summary of the key requirements and whether the Common Entrance Exam (CEE) result is compulsory:

### **Criteria for Nepal Medical Council License Examination**  

1. **Eligibility Certificate**: Students must obtain an **Eligibility Certificate** from the NMC before starting their MBBS abroad to ensure their degree will be recognized in Nepal .  

2. **MBBS Degree Recognition**: The foreign medical degree must be from a university recognized by the NMC and listed in the **World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS)** .  

3. **NMC Licensing Exam**: After completing MBBS abroad, students must pass the **NMC Licensing Examination**, which tests their medical knowledge and skills. This is mandatory for registration with the NMC .  

4. **Internship Requirement**:  

   - If the foreign MBBS program includes an **internship**, it must be at least **6 months** long and approved by the NMC.  

   - If not, students may need to complete an additional internship in Nepal .  

5. **Document Verification**: Students must submit attested copies of:  

   - MBBS degree & mark sheets

### **Is the CEE (Common Entrance Exam) Result Compulsory?**  

- **No**, the **CEE (or MECEE) result is not required** for Nepalese students who studied MBBS abroad. The CEE is relevant for:  

  - Admission to **MBBS programs in Nepal** (for local and international students).  

  - **Postgraduate (MD/MS) entrance** in Nepal (MECEE-PG) .  

- However, foreign graduates must pass the **NMC Licensing Exam**, not the CEE, to practice in Nepal .

### **Key Takeaways**  

- The **NMC Licensing Exam** is mandatory for foreign MBBS graduates to practice in Nepal.  

- The **CEE/MECEE result is only for admissions**, not licensing.  

- Ensure your foreign MBBS degree is **NMC-recognized** and follow the registration process carefully .
