Hello,


Yes, your brother-in-law can apply to practice medicine in India, but he needs to meet the eligibility criteria set by the Medical Council of India (MCI) and complete the required process:


1. Primary Medical Qualification: His

MATS degree from Bangladesh must be recognized by MCI.


2. Eligibility Certificate: He needs to obtain an Eligibility Certificate from MCI.

3.

FMGE (Foreign Medical Graduate

Examination): He must pass the FMGE screening test.

4

Registration with MC/: After passing

FMGE, he needs to register with MCl.


5. State Medical Council Registration:

He also needs to register with the West Bengal Medical Council (WBMC) to practice in Kolkata.


6. Work Permit/Visa: He may require a work permit or visa to work in India.

Consult the Indian Embassy or Consulate in Bangladesh for guidance.


Procedure:

1. Check MCI's website for recognized foreign medical institutions and eligibility criteria.

2. Apply for an Eligibility Certificate from

MCI.

3. Prepare for and pass the FMGE

screening test.

4. Register with MCI and WBMC.

5. Obtain a work permit/visa (if required).


Hope this helps,

Thank you
