By Why Indian students consider Poland for medicine
- An EU degree in English. The six-year Polish MD is the same degree Polish students receive, taught in English in separate English Divisions.
- Public universities. All twelve are public universities with their own teaching hospitals.
- Admission without NEET cut-offs. Selection is by the university's own exam, an interview or school marks, not your NEET rank.
- A growing FMGE record. Graduates of Polish schools passed 9 of 15 FMGE attempts in December 2025.
The drawbacks are just as real: high fees, a demanding course and the need to learn Polish for clinical years and for a licence in Poland.

The Medical University of Lublin is not in the table because we could not confirm its 2026/27 fee. Some schools raise fees from year three or four, and Białystok reserves the right to raise them by up to 30%. Six-year totals are on our MBBS fees page. €1 = ₹106.27, 1 PLN = ₹24.18 (European Central Bank reference rates (EUR/INR 106.272, EUR/PLN 4.3945), 23 October 2026)
The NMC question in one paragraph
The NMC's 2021 regulations ask for at least 54 months of study in English, a 12-month internship at the same foreign institution, and eligibility for a licence to practise in the country of study. Polish MDs meet the first two in length and language. The licence condition is harder: in Poland it needs the LEK exam, a postgraduate internship and, for English-track graduates, a Polish-language exam. Ask the university how it documents these, in writing. Full detail on NMC rules for Poland.

Five steps to an MD in Poland
- Qualify NEET-UG and finish Class 12 with physics, chemistry and biology.
- Choose two or three universities with different exam dates and take an English test (IELTS 5.5 at most schools, 6.5 at Poznań).
- Apply to NAWA for recognition of your Class 12 certificate and get the apostille.
- Sit the university exams or interviews, mostly online, between March and September.
- Pay the first instalment, then apply for the D-type study visa through VFS.
