What is Bogomolets National Medical University?

Is Bogomolets National Medical University safe to study at in 2026?

Ukraine has been at war since February 2022. The Embassy of India in Kyiv lists its advisories on one embassy advisory page. As of 30 September 2026, the newest advisory there is dated 25 October 2022.

That advisory says all Indian citizens in Ukraine are advised to leave Ukraine immediately by available means (Embassy of India advisory, 25 October 2022). It gives embassy phone numbers for help. It also lists Indian embassies in Romania, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia for border crossings.

For a family, this is the fact that comes before fees or rankings. The Government of India has not withdrawn its advice to leave Ukraine. A student who travels to Kyiv does so while that advice stands.

Is Bogomolets National Medical University still admitting students in 2026?

Yes. The university published its rules for 2026 admission of foreign citizens. Applications for the first year and the preparatory course run from 19 July to 31 October 2026 (university admissions page for foreign citizens). Applications go through the university portal for foreign students, foreign.nmuofficial.com.

Who is eligible for MBBS at Bogomolets National Medical University?

An Indian student needs two things: a place at the university and eligibility under NMC rules. NMC, the National Medical Commission, is India's medical regulator.

• NEET UG qualified. Since May 2018, any Indian citizen studying medicine abroad must qualify NEET UG. The result is valid for three years (NMC information for students studying abroad).

• Eligible under Indian rules. The student must also meet the MBBS eligibility criteria in India's Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 1997 (NMC information for students studying abroad).

• English-taught stream. The student should join the English-taught General Medicine course, not the Ukrainian one.

Read more on how these rules fit together in our guide to which NMC rules apply to you.

Documents needed for Bogomolets National Medical University admission

The university lists these documents for foreign applicants (university admissions page for foreign citizens). Each one needs a notarised translation into Ukrainian.

1. Completed application form.

2. Copy of the passport, with a notarised Ukrainian translation.

3. School leaving certificate, with a notarised Ukrainian translation.

4. Marks sheet or transcript, with a notarised Ukrainian translation.

Bogomolets National Medical University fees for foreign students

The university's fee schedule for foreigners is linked from its admissions page (university fee schedule for foreign students). It quotes fees per year in conventional units (in Ukrainian, у.о.). The payment currency is set in the contract the student signs with the university.

Added up, the English-taught Medicine course comes to 27,000 conventional units in tuition over six years. Hostel, food, insurance, visa and travel costs come on top. The Ukrainian-taught Medicine course is cheaper, at 3,000 for year 1 and 3,600 a year after that, but it does not meet the NMC English-medium rule.

Bogomolets National Medical University FMGE pass rate

FMGE, the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination, is the screening test a doctor with a foreign degree must pass to work in India. NBEMS, the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences, runs it and publishes results by university (NBEMS FMGE page). For what the exam covers, see what the FMGE exam is.

Sources: NBEMS FMGE reports for 2023, 2024 and 2025.

In plain words, a little over one in four Bogomolets National Medical University graduates passed each 2025 FMGE. That is above the Ukraine figure and the national figure both times, as the table below shows. The 2024 result of 42.73% was the strongest of the four years.

Is Bogomolets National Medical University valid in India under NMC rules?

NMC does not keep or endorse a list of approved foreign universities (NMC information for students studying abroad). Instead, each graduate must meet the Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate Regulations, 2021 (NMC FMGL Regulations 2021). The main rules are:

• Course length. The medical course must last at least 54 months. General Medicine at the university lasts six years.

• Internship abroad. A 12-month internship must be done at the same foreign university.

• Same university throughout. The whole course, training and internship must be done at that one foreign institution. No part may be done in India or in another country.

• English medium. The degree must be taught in English.

• Licence at home. The graduate must be registered to practise medicine in Ukraine, on the same terms as a Ukrainian citizen.

• After FMGE. A 12-month supervised internship in India follows, after the graduate passes FMGE.

The "same university throughout" rule matters most in wartime. A student who moves to another country partway through the course may no longer meet it. Our guide to checking NMC and WDOMS recognition explains how to read these rules. NMC's latest warning on foreign admissions is summed up in our NMC 2026 advisory web story.
