Urgench State Medical Institute
Urgench Branch of Tashkent Medical Academy
Urgench, Khorezm region
Government medical institution
Six years in WDOMS
Uzbek, Russian and English for General Medicine
Current institution and intake evidence
Checked 17 October 2026: the institute website says it has operated as Urgench State Medical Institute since 3 October 2025 under Resolution No. 621. A legacy Tashkent Medical Academy branch name should be explained and reconciled with the current legal institution and payment beneficiary.
The 5 June 2026 admissions notice announces the general 2026/27 process and call centre. It does not establish that a fresh English-medium undergraduate application is accepted today. Ask for the current foreign-applicant instructions, assessment, deadline, programme and language group.
Keep Urgench State Medical Institute distinct from similarly named universities or colleges. A shared city name is not a match for the institution on your offer.
Match the qualification on your offer
Urgench General Medicine and MBBS are separate directory entries
Directory check: 17 October 2026. WDOMS record F0000791 lists more than one medical programme. Do not transfer the duration or language of one entry to another.
General Medicine
Directory duration: six years.
Qualification: Physician (General Medicine).
Languages listed: Uzbek, Russian and English.
Match the programme title, full teaching and clinical languages, academic calendar and supervised internship to your intake-specific curriculum.
MBBS entry
Directory duration: five years.
Qualification: Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery.
Language listed: English.
An English or MBBS label does not establish the same structure as the six-year General Medicine entry. Resolve education, internship and licensing requirements before accepting an offer.
Check the documents together: the offer, contract, curriculum, diploma title and internship plan should describe one consistent programme. Neither six years nor an English-language directory field alone proves compliance with current Indian rules.
Why families may shortlist it
- A government medical institution with teaching history dating to 1992.
- A six-year General Medicine programme is recorded in WDOMS and admits foreign students.
- The institute has its own clinical institution following the 2025 reorganisation.
- Urgench provides a distinct regional option for families comparing Uzbekistan cities.
Confirm before applying
- Select the six-year General Medicine programme, not a shorter track, if assessing Indian compliance.
- Obtain written confirmation of English throughout lectures, examinations and clinical rotations.
- Check internship structure and whether it is part of the same programme and country.
- Verify the current institute name on every offer, invitation, invoice and visa document.
- Confirm entrance examination, tuition and local-registration rights for the 2026 intake.
NMC and programme safeguards
NMC does not publish an approved-foreign-university list. Indian eligibility depends on the exact programme, duration, internship, teaching language, curriculum, clinical training and right to local registration.
Written programme proof
Match the offer letter and curriculum to the programme described by the university.
Duration and internship
Check the complete structure against the regulations applicable to your admission year.
Clinical years
Ask for named hospitals, rotation schedules, patient access and supervision.
Language
Confirm lectures, assessments and clinical teaching for every year.
Local registration
Verify that the awarded qualification permits registration to practise in Uzbekistan.
Indian pathway
Check NEET, eligibility and the Indian licensing route that will apply after graduation.
Urgench tuition and full-course cost: obtain the current contract
No current programme-specific international English-track fee was verified in the official pages checked for this guide. The institute homepage, General Medicine faculty page and general admissions notice do not provide a completed quotation for your proposed cohort. This is a limit of the reviewed evidence, not a statement that the institute has no fee schedule.
Match the programme and payer
Request a dated contract with the current legal institution, programme and qualification, intake, language group, currency, tuition period and university beneficiary. Resolve any legacy name before sending money.
Build the whole-course budget
Add compulsory academic and clinical charges, internship costs, hostel allocation, deposits, utilities, insurance, registration, travel and living expenses. Record fee revisions and currency scenarios separately.
Avoid a false comparison: a price quoted for one programme, language, year or institution cannot establish the cost of another. Leave unknown amounts unconfirmed, rather than entering zero or borrowing an agent package.
Use the quotation decision checklist and full-course budget worksheet. Compare the same categories for every shortlisted university.
Admission workflow
Profile review

Complete invitation, visa, insurance, accommodation and travel preparation after document verification.

Questions families ask
Is Urgench State Medical Institute the same as the former Tashkent Medical Academy branch?
It was reorganised from the Urgench Branch of Tashkent Medical Academy in 2025. Current documents should use Urgench State Medical Institute.
Which programme should Indian applicants verify?
WDOMS lists six-year General Medicine and a separate five-year MBBS entry. Match the offer to its exact qualification, curriculum and internship structure, then assess the programme and individual facts against current NMC rules. A duration or English label alone does not establish eligibility.
Is English listed for General Medicine?
WDOMS lists Uzbek, Russian and English. Obtain written intake-specific proof covering every academic and clinical year.
Does the new name change recognition automatically?
No. The reorganisation confirms the institution’s current identity, while Indian eligibility still depends on programme-level requirements.
What should appear on the offer letter?
The current legal institute name, exact programme, duration, teaching language, tuition, refund terms and official payment details.
What is the current Urgench tuition fee for an Indian applicant?
A current programme-specific international English-track quotation was not verified in the official pages checked for this guide. Request a dated university contract stating the intake, programme, currency, payment period, compulsory extras, beneficiary and refunds.

Official sources and review scope
Targeted review: 17 October 2026. Institution identity, directory programme distinctions and the scope of the published admissions notice were checked. The earlier general guide review was 22 September 2026; this targeted review does not refresh every regulatory or clinical claim.
- Urgench State Medical Institute — current institutional name and reorganisation statement.
- 5 June 2026 general admissions announcement — not an individual foreign English-track offer.
- General Medicine faculty — faculty identity, not a tuition contract or complete cohort curriculum.
- WDOMS F0000791 — programme names, durations and language fields; directory listing is not approval.
23 October follow-up: the official institution homepage and retrieved WDOMS programme record were rechecked. The June admissions announcement remains general. Faculty details retain the earlier review date; this follow-up does not establish a current tuition contract or an available intake.
