On 30th May 2025, a significant milestone was achieved in the field of international medical education. Buon Ma Thuot Medical University (BMTU), one of Vietnam’s growing government medical institutions, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Aieraa Overseas Studies, an organization that has been at the forefront of guiding Indian students to study MBBS in Vietnam.
The MoU was formally signed by the founders of Aieraa Overseas Studies – Deepa Ranganathan and Avinash Kumar – in the presence of senior university officials at the BMTU campus in Vietnam. This agreement marks the official launch of admissions for Indian students into BMTU Vietnam’s English-medium MBBS program, starting from the academic year 2025–26.
This collaboration holds special significance as it brings together a government-recognized medical university and a trusted Indian education consultancy, offering students a structured and transparent admission pathway.
This signing ceremony is more than just an agreement—it is a strong step toward creating more affordable, accessible, and globally-relevant medical education opportunities for Indian students under NMC-compliant norms.
BMTU Vietnam – NMC-Recognized Curriculum for Indian Students
Buon Ma Thuot Medical University (BMTU) is a government medical institution based in Vietnam’s Central Highlands. It is known for its structured academic environment, clinical exposure, and a curriculum that aligns closely with the guidelines of the National Medical Commission (NMC), India.
For Indian students aiming to practice in India after their MBBS, this is critical.
Here’s why BMTU Vietnam stands out:
- The MBBS program is entirely taught in English, designed for international students.
- The curriculum follows the Outcome-Based Medical Education (OBME) model, similar to what the NMC expects from foreign universities.
- Clinical exposure begins early, with hospital rotations starting from the third year.
- The course duration and structure match the 54-month requirement by the NMC, followed by an internship.
NMC Regulation Compliance
As per the Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate (FMGL) Regulations 2021 by the NMC:
- The university must offer a minimum of 54 months of MBBS education
- There should be a compulsory 12-month internship
- The medium of instruction must be entirely in English
- The university must be authorized by the medical education regulatory body of that country
BMTU meets all these standards.
