The clear answer
Nam Can Tho University for Indian students: the key facts
Nam Can Tho University (DNC) in Can Tho, Vietnam, publishes a six-year International Medicine programme, code 7720101, with 191 credits and an award described as Doctor. Indian students searching for “MBBS at Nam Can Tho University” should check this exact programme and qualification, rather than assuming the Indian MBBS title applies. Official programme evidence ↓

India eligibility checkpoint
NMC, clinical language and licensing checks
The Embassy of India’s advisory dated 5 June 2026 says Vietnamese proficiency is needed for patient-facing practical training, even where academic teaching is in English. It describes 12 months of hospital practice after the degree for local licensing and an exam planned from 2027, likely in Vietnamese. Confirm how these arrangements apply to your intake and graduation year.
Clinical training
Request the hospital list, supervision plan, rotation schedule and patient-access arrangements.
Internship and practice
Separate the degree internship from any practice required after graduation for local registration.
Local licence eligibility
Confirm whether the qualification and training make the graduate eligible for registration in Vietnam.
NMC rules
Compare the complete written programme with the Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate Regulations applicable to you.
No approval shortcut
NMC does not endorse a list of foreign universities. A WDOMS listing alone is not approval or an eligibility guarantee.
