Admission planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • Admission to Nepal's regulated medical programmes follows Medical Education Commission requirements, examination or qualifying foreign-candidate category, matching and school enrolment instructions.
  • Obtain the current MECEE-BL foreign-candidate notice and programme-specific school-science requirements.
  • Postgraduate programmes have separate MEC selection and prior-degree requirements.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • Confirm the course's formal teaching language and assessment policy directly with KUSMS.
  • Clinical learning also involves the local patient-care environment; an English academic pathway should not be assumed to remove the need for supported local-language communication.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • Programme entry follows the MEC selection/matching and KUSMS enrolment calendar, not an assumed universal January or September intake.
  • The constituent programme and affiliated/extended colleges may receive separate notices.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • No verified upcoming 2026/27 enrolment deadline is asserted.
  • Use the latest MEC foreign-candidate examination and matching notices, then the school-specific confirmation date; older KUSMS deadlines remain historical.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • KUSMS publishes a fee notice explicitly titled for foreign students in academic year 2026, dated December 2025, as an image.
  • Its numeric line items were not independently transcribed here, so obtain the original notice and a programme-specific USD quotation directly from KUSMS.
  • Do not substitute an affiliated college's fee or an earlier SAARC/non-SAARC schedule.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • MEC scholarship-category places and foreign fee-paying seats are separate admission categories.
  • International eligibility for any scholarship must be verified in the current notice; no general constituent-school scholarship for every foreign entrant was established.
