NMC Approved Philippines Medical Colleges List

Not all Philippines colleges are NMC-recognized. Here is how to verify before you pay.

Quick Answer

Indian students must only join IMED-listed Philippines medical colleges to be eligible for NExT. Always verify on imed.faimer.org before applying. DMSF is IMED-listed, WHO-recognized, and NMC-compliant.

Why College Recognition Matters

If you study at an unrecognized Philippines medical college, your degree will not be accepted for the NExT exam — meaning you cannot become a licensed doctor in India. This is the single most important check before you pay any fees.

How to Verify Any Philippines College

Step 1: Go to imed.faimer.org — search the college name. If listed, it's recognized.
Step 2: Check NMC website (nmc.org.in) for the approved foreign institutions list.
Step 3: Verify CHED (Philippines) approval — all accredited colleges will have CHED recognition.
Step 4: Ask the college for their IMED listing number in writing. Legitimate colleges provide this immediately.
