Entrance Exam for Comenius University: futureMBBS in Delhi

In 2025, futureMBBS coordinated a sitting of the entrance exam for Comenius University at the Slovak Republic Embassy in Delhi. Indian applicants could take the test without first travelling to Slovakia. That sitting is now over. For 2026/27, the Faculty of Medicine ran its biology and chemistry exam online, with an extra in-person option in Bratislava in August.

What was the futureMBBS sitting of the entrance exam for Comenius University?

It was a sitting of the entrance exam for Comenius University, organised in India. The exam took place at the Slovak Republic Embassy in Delhi. futureMBBS coordinated it with the university and the embassy.

For families, the main gain was simple. A student could sit the entrance exam for Comenius University in Delhi instead of flying to Bratislava for a test they might not pass. Travel, visa and hotel costs only came after a result.

futureMBBS supported the applicants in three ways:

• Preparation: mock tests and subject videos through the futureMBBS e-learning portal, built around the biology and chemistry the exam tests.

• Documents: help putting together the application file the faculty asks for, so no student was turned away for a missing paper.

• Coordination: communication with the university and the embassy around the exam date.

Entrance exam for Comenius University 2026/27 at a glance

The rules below come from the faculty's own admission process page and entrance examination page for 2026/27.

Entrance exam for Comenius University: 2026 dates

Comenius offered three dates for the entrance exam for Comenius University in the 2026/27 intake. Each date had its own registration window, and the documents and fee had to arrive by the same deadline (Comenius admission process page).

Students who wanted to sit the August exam in person in Bratislava had to register by 16 July 2026. The faculty tells applicants from outside the European Union to register only for March or June. A student visa can take several weeks, and the faculty recommends March.

All three 2026 dates have now passed, and the 2026 intake enrolled on 14 September 2026. A student aiming for 2027 should plan around the same pattern, with the March date as the safest choice for an Indian applicant.

How the entrance exam for Comenius University is marked

The marking of the entrance exam for Comenius University changed for 2026. Earlier tests took marks away for wrong answers. Now a wrong answer scores zero, and ticking more than one option also scores zero (Comenius entrance examination page).

The bigger point for preparation is where the questions come from. The faculty publishes preparation booklets with 500 biology and 500 chemistry questions. Each booklet question has eight possible answers. In the exam, each question shows four of those eight answers, chosen at random.

The test uses only questions from these booklets. A student who works through all 1,000 booklet questions has seen every possible question before exam day. This is why steady work on the booklets matters more than general NEET-style revision.

Comenius University programmes, places and tuition for 2026/27

The Faculty of Medicine in Bratislava runs two English-taught programmes. Rupee figures use the European Central Bank rate of €1 = Rs. 108.82 on 30 September 2026 (ECB euro to Indian rupee reference rate).

The faculty guarantees the same tuition each year for the standard length of the course (Comenius admission process page). A General Medicine student admitted in 2026 pays €13,000 every year for six years, about €78,000 in total, or roughly Rs. 84.9 lakh. The MUDr. is the Slovak equivalent of an MBBS.

Who can apply for the entrance exam for Comenius University?

An Indian student has to meet the faculty's rules and India's rules.

• School certificate: a Class 12 certificate that counts as secondary education at European Qualifications Framework level 4. A student still waiting for results can send a letter from the school instead (Comenius admission process page).

• NEET UG: an Indian citizen who wants to practise in India after studying abroad must qualify NEET UG. The NEET result works as the eligibility certificate (NMC Screening Test Regulations, 2018 amendment). Our guide on whether NEET is required for MBBS abroad explains this in full.

• English: Comenius does not ask for an English language certificate such as IELTS. The whole course is taught in English.

• One try per year: a student can register only once for each programme in an academic year.

Who cannot use the degree in India: a student who studies at Comenius without qualifying NEET UG cannot later register to practise in India.

How to apply for the entrance exam for Comenius University, step by step

1. Fill in the e-application: use the Comenius University e-application portal and pick the exam date. The faculty publishes a step-by-step manual on its admission page.

2. Upload the documents: attach the passport scan, the school certificate or school letter, and the fee receipt. Nothing is posted on paper.

3. Pay the €99 fee: transfer it to the faculty's bank account with the applicant's full name as the reference. The student is admitted to the exam only once the money reaches the account before the deadline.

4. Get the login: Scio emails the login details a few days before the exam. For the August date, the student confirms online or in person at that point.

5. Sit the exam and wait for the result: results come within 30 days, and the admissions committee meets on the dates in the table above.

Nostrification for Indian students at Comenius University

Nostrification is the Slovak process that recognises a foreign school certificate as equal to Slovak secondary education. Students from the EU and a short list of countries can use a simpler recognition statement. India is not on that list. An Indian student therefore needs nostrification, handled by the Regional School Administration Office in Slovakia, by enrolment day (Comenius admission process page).

What if you miss or fail the entrance exam for Comenius University?

• Cannot attend on the day: the faculty can move the registration only if told at least one day before. For illness, it accepts notice on the day with a doctor's confirmation.

• Fail the exam: registration is once per programme per year, so the next chance at Comenius is the following year. The €99 fee is not refunded.

• Applied to both programmes: General Medicine and Dentistry are separate applications, each with its own €99 fee.

• Admitted but no nostrification by enrolment: the faculty cannot enrol the student, so the process should start as soon as the offer arrives.

Comenius University has a second medical faculty, the Jessenius Faculty of Medicine in Martin, which runs its own online exam and allows a new attempt on a later date. Its 2027/28 exam dates are 20 March, 26 June and 6 August 2027, and its application platform opens on 1 December 2026 (Jessenius application process page). Our comparison of the three Slovak medical faculties sets out fees and exams side by side.

After a Comenius University degree: NMC rules and FMGE

To practise in India, a Comenius graduate must meet the NMC Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate Regulations 2021 (NMC FMGL Regulations 2021). The NMC (National Medical Commission) is India's medical regulator. The main rules are:

• Course length: at least 54 months of study. The Comenius General Medicine programme runs six years.

• Internship abroad: 12 months of internship at the same foreign institution that awards the degree.

• English medium: the course must be taught in English, which Comenius does.

• Back in India: pass the FMGE, then complete a 12-month supervised internship in India.

The FMGE (Foreign Medical Graduate Examination) is the screening exam that NBEMS runs for doctors who studied abroad (NBEMS FMGE page). Our guide to the FMGE exam explains the pattern, and the FMGE pass rate by country web story shows recent results. Graduates who plan to work elsewhere sit that country's licensing exam instead, such as the USMLE in the United States or PLAB in the United Kingdom.

How futureMBBS supports applicants to Comenius University

• Choosing a faculty: free counselling on which university fits the student's budget, NEET result and target country.

• Exam preparation: subject videos and mock tests on the futureMBBS e-learning portal.

• Application file: help with documents and with the university and, where needed, the embassy.

• Visa and travel: guidance once an offer is confirmed.

• Arrival: support after landing, including help with accommodation.

Comenius University Faculty of Medicine is one of three futureMBBS partner faculties in Slovakia, with Jessenius in Martin and Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice. More on the country is on our MBBS in Slovakia page.
