Admission Process (Step‑by‑Step)
Register on Poland's national admission system IRK (irk.umk.pl). Applications open 16 April.
Upload documents to your candidate account and pay PLN 85 application fee.
Documents reviewed by the Qualification Commission.
Online written test — 50 MCQs: 30 Biology, 12 Chemistry, 8 Physics. Minimum 25/50 to advance. (Proctored — do not switch windows.)
Final score W = W1/2 + W2 (half written + full oral). You need W ≥ 70 to be admitted.
Eligibility & Documents
Class 10 & 12 certificates — apostilled/legalised, showing Biology + Chemistry or Physics (apostille by 30 September).
Diploma recognition via NAWA using the SYRENA system (Poland's govt agency — allow ~60 days, start early).
English proficiency ≥ B2 — IELTS 6.5 comfortably qualifies.
Valid passport and a medical fitness certificate (university template).
Eligibility statement (if not shown on your certificate).
The real bottleneck is paperwork, not the exam. The Apostille (Ministry of External Affairs) and the NAWA/SYRENA recognition take weeks — begin them the day your Class 12 marks are out.
India Pathway (NMC / FMGE)
The programme is a 6‑year, single‑institution, English‑medium MD, so it structurally satisfies India's NMC Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate rules. To practise in India, the graduate must still clear the FMGE / NExT screening exam and complete the required internship. Choose the college where the student will genuinely study hard — the ultimate test for returning to India is FMGE/NExT, where pass rates are low regardless of college.
