Study a globally recognised, English-medium MBBS at a top Romanian medical university — for a fraction of the cost of private colleges in India. Fully compliant with the latest NMC (National Medical Commission) rules. Guided end-to-end by KALINGAEURO.
Romania sits in a rare sweet spot: a full member of the European Union and the Schengen area, with medical universities that teach entirely in English, charge EU-affordable fees, and meet every clause of India's new NMC regulations. That combination is exactly what an ambitious Indian medical aspirant should be looking for.
Universities follow the EU Bologna framework. Your degree carries the weight of a European medical qualification — respected across the EU, UK, US and Gulf.
Both theory and clinical practice are delivered in English, satisfying the NMC's English-language rule and removing any language barrier.
Tuition of roughly €5,000–€8,000 a year and among the lowest living costs in the EU — a fraction of a private MBBS seat in India.
The 6-year (5+1) structure, single-institution study & internship, and English medium meet the FMGL Regulations 2021 clause-by-clause.
Admission is merit-based on your 10+2 (PCB) marks — no university entrance test. NEET qualification is required for Indian applicants.
Modern teaching hospitals, well-equipped labs and early patient contact build the practical confidence you need for FMGE / NExT.

Recognition status of any specific university should always be verified against the current NMC and WDOMS/World Directory of Medical Schools listings before you apply. KALINGAEURO confirms this for you as part of the counselling process.
A transparent picture so you and your family can plan with confidence. Figures are indicative ranges for the 2026–27 intake and vary by university and city.
Annual tuition typically runs €5,000–€8,000, i.e. roughly ₹4.5–7.5 lakh per year depending on the university.
A comparable private MBBS seat in India can cost ₹60 lakh to ₹1 crore+. Romania delivers a European Union medical degree, in English, at a fraction of that — with living costs among the lowest in the EU.
You also gain a genuine international experience: a Schengen base for travel, exposure to EU healthcare systems, and a qualification recognised well beyond India.
To practise medicine in India after studying abroad, your course must satisfy the National Medical Commission (NMC) — Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate (FMGL) Regulations, 2021, notified on 18 November 2021. These apply to Indian students whose classes commenced after that date. Here is what the law requires, and why a standard Romanian MD programme is compliant.
Regulations are periodically updated by the NMC. Always verify the current rules on the official NMC website (nmc.org.in) and confirm your chosen university's listing before applying. KALINGAEURO keeps you aligned with the latest position.
Passed 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry & Biology. General category typically needs ≥50% in PCB (relaxation for reserved categories as per norms).
A valid, qualified NEET-UG score — mandatory for admission abroad and for future practice in India.
You should have completed 17 years of age on or before 31st December of the year of admission.
KALINGAEURO manages every stage so you never navigate the paperwork alone.

Passport, 10th & 12th certificates, NEET scorecard, medical fitness and other documents are prepared, attested and submitted.
The university evaluates your merit-based application and issues an official admission letter — no entrance exam.
With the offer letter and proof of funds, we help you apply for the Romanian Type-D student visa. Allow around 4–6 weeks.
We arrange your travel plan, hostel booking and airport pickup, and help you settle in and register on campus.
From enrolment to FMGE/NExT guidance, KALINGAEURO stays with you across all six years.
For roughly the down-payment on a private Indian MBBS seat, you can complete your entire European medical degree in Romania. That is the difference between years of financial strain and a clear, affordable path to becoming a doctor.
