The core checklist
Almost every college asks for these, so assemble them first regardless of where you apply.
Academic
- Class 10 marksheet and passing certificate
- Class 12 marksheet and passing certificate
- NEET scorecard / result
- School leaving or transfer certificate, where required
- Character certificate from your last institution, where required
Identity and personal
- Valid passport — check the expiry date carefully
- Passport-size photographs to the exact specification requested
- Birth certificate, where required
- Medical fitness report, where required by the college
- Any additional college-specific forms
Exact documentation requirements vary by college and by current admission rules. Always work from the checklist the college itself publishes for the session you are applying to.
Attestation: start earlier than you think
Some documents need attestation or verification before they will be accepted, and which ones depends on the college and the current requirements.
- It takes weeks, not days, especially around holidays and examination seasons.
- Get more attested copies than you think you need. They are consumed at several points, and redoing them mid-application is painful.
How to organise everything
This sounds trivial and is not. Good records make every later stage easier, including registration back in India years afterwards.
- Keep one physical folder and one cloud folder, mirrored
- Scan everything at full quality before handing over any original
- Name files clearly — class-12-marksheet.pdf, not IMG_2043.jpg
- Keep receipts, offer letters and official emails, not just certificates
- Photograph each new document the day the college issues it
Keep your documents safe
Our website has no document upload form, deliberately. Uploading passports and marksheets to unsecured web forms is a genuine risk and we are not willing to ask students to do it.
Send documents directly on WhatsApp to a number you have verified, or upload through the college’s own official portal. Never send identity documents to an unverified email address or a random web form, and be suspicious of any document request that comes with time pressure.
Frequently asked questions
Typically Class 10 and Class 12 marksheets and certificates, NEET scorecard, valid passport, passport-size photographs and a birth certificate. Some colleges also require a medical fitness report, transfer certificate or eligibility certificate. Requirements vary by college and session.
Some do, and which ones depends on the college and current requirements. Confirm for your specific case, and allow weeks rather than days for the process.
No. Never upload identity documents to an unsecured web form. Share them directly on WhatsApp with a verified contact, or through the college’s own official portal.
Where to verify this yourself
We would rather you checked than took our word for it. These are the places to confirm anything in this guide before you act on it:
- The official website and admission circular of the specific college you are considering
- The National Medical Commission — the current regulations for foreign medical graduates
Fees, eligibility rules, recognition status and admission requirements change from time to time. Always verify the current position with the medical college and with the applicable Bangladeshi and Indian authorities before making any financial or academic decision.
