Arjun Kapoor
Arjun joined thinking it was a 6-year path. Reality: NMC counts only the MD portion towards the 54-month minimum. The 2-year BS degree does not count toward the medical qualification.
| Parameter | NMC Requires | Philippines MD | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Medical Qualification Months | 54 | 48 | 6 Months Short |
The medical degree itself must be 54 months minimum. Pre-medical, foundation, or bridging years do not count toward the duration.
