Applying for Nepal Medical Council (NMC): The Provisional Certificate

This is solely based upon my personal experience and all things may not be correct It is just to make your job hassle free and easy and it is not an official guide. Being a medical student from Nepal I have posted all what I have actually done and don't know what International student or Nepali Student studying in Foreign need to do.

THE PROVISIONAL CERTIFICATE

When do you qualify ?

After you pass your final year exam (including Basics, Minor and Major)

What is Provisional Certificate ?

A certificate that gives you permission to practice under supervision (That is you can do your internship under this certicficate)

When to apply for Provisional Certificate ?

As soon as you join your internship.

Once you pass your exam, make sure that your college has sent necessary documents to NMC stating all these students have started internship in the college.

Still having trouble registering yourself? Make sure you got things done correctly.

What document you need to apply for Provisional Certificate?

Total 10 documents (all attested photocopies)

	1.       Citizenship Certificate
School	2.       SLC Marksheet	3.       Character Certificate
College:	4.       10+2 marksheet	5.       character Certificate
University	6.       all 3 marksheets Basics, 7.        Minor 8.        Major	9.       document from university stating you are eligible to do internship
	10.   Recent passport Sized Photo (Atleast 4)

Why 4 photos?

One to fix to form .

Three photos to be provided along with form. They will fix the same photo in all the certificates they will provide you in future (I guess, because the same photo was there in my provisional Certificate)

Sign or write name behind each photo to be on safe side. (my experience)

Better have 8-10 printed because though you fill an online form, real photos need to be fixed in your admit cards (two in number).

Who can attest your documents?

Any Medical Officer with PERMANENT registration number. (Consultants who have their permanent number, or medical Officer or Residents who have worked for atleast 2 years and have their permanent certificates)

Better put on the stamp from the organization of the doctor where s/he is working. So better get it done from some one in your own college and get the stamp of the college to be on  the safe side.

Do I need to verify the duplicate and original are equivalent ?

Better sign behind every photocopied document stating gSsn adf]lhd ;Ssn l7s 5 . (the duplicate is same as the original.) So that you dont have any trouble.

Where to get the forms?NMC office at bansbari, Kathmandu

Who can Collect ?

Any one collect that for you. So better collect for the entire batch at once.

What Forms to fill up ?

There are a total of 3 forms

1.       In Nepali Paper (Nepali kagaz) all your personal details with a photograph

2.       One declaration form stating all statements are true

3.       Third one also stating personal details

How to fill the form?
Fill in your details. You need to fill up your fathers name, mother name and even grand fathers name.
Citizenship certificate number, place and date of issue as well.

There are several places where you need to sign. I actually do not remember. But i think every paper has 1 place to sign and one has 2/3 places to sign so make sure all things are signed properly. (NMC called two of my friends back because they forget to sign in some of the place)

You are applying for provisional so tick on the provisional option where ever needed. Don't tick on
temporary, permanent or special.

Still stuck with filling the registration form, adit card and exams?

How much to pay ?

Rs 525 worth Bank Voucher of SBI Bank. The bank is near to NMC office at Mahargunj.

Can be paid in anyone's name and just need to attach along with your form.

How much time does it take to process this document?

They can take as far as 2-3 months to make your provisional certificate. So better don’t take chance. We turned out unfortunate as our college didn’t guided us adequately for this and we submitted it just 30 days prior to our NMC exams. We just had our Certificate 1 day prior to the last day of form submission and had to pay the extra charge on the extended deadline. It happened in 16^th day, however we had to use all our sources(from within college) to get it done in time.

What do i get finally ?

NMC Provisional Certificate

The written document giving you the permission to practice.
