Frequently asked questions
Is MBBS from Slovakia valid in India?
A medical degree from abroad lets you practise in India only if your course meets the National Medical Commission's foreign medical graduate regulations, including course length, internship and language of instruction, and you pass the licensing exam. We check this for every program before recommending it.

Tuition and living costs in Slovakia are generally lower than in western European countries, which is one reason it is growing in popularity.
What language are courses taught in?
Many international programs, especially medicine, are taught in English. Learning some Slovak helps with daily life and clinical training.
