History & Founding
Osh State University was founded in 1951 as the Osh State Pedagogical Institute by the Soviet Ministry of Higher Education to serve southern Kyrgyzstan's educational needs. The Medical Faculty was established in 1992 immediately after Kyrgyzstan's independence, making it one of the first medical programs in the newly sovereign nation.

Course Structure & Curriculum
The 6-year MBBS program at Osh State University Medical Faculty follows the international medical education framework aligned with NMC India guidelines and prepares students thoroughly for FMGE/NExT examinations. Year 1 covers foundational medical sciences with Anatomy including gross anatomy, neuroanatomy, and embryology taught through cadaveric dissection and digital anatomy software, Physiology covering all organ systems with extensive laboratory practicals measuring cardiovascular, respiratory, and neurological parameters, Biochemistry with focus on metabolism, enzymology, and clinical biochemistry, Histology with microscopic study of tissues and organs, Medical Biology covering cell biology and genetics, and introduction to Medical Ethics and Patient Communication Skills. Teaching methodology combines lectures, small-group tutorials, and hands-on laboratory sessions.
- Year 2 transitions to disease mechanisms with Pathology covering general and systemic pathology with microscopic examination of pathological specimens, Microbiology including bacteriology, virology, parasitology, and mycology with culture techniques, Pharmacology covering drug classifications, mechanisms of action, and therapeutics, Immunology and basic principles of disease defense, and continuation of Anatomy and Physiology integration. Students begin learning clinical examination techniques on mannequins and peer practice. Year 3 marks the beginning of clinical exposure with Introduction to Internal Medicine, General Surgery, Pediatrics, and Obstetrics-Gynecology through hospital bedside teaching at Osh Regional Clinical Hospital.
- Students learn patient history-taking, physical examination, and medical documentation under supervision. Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, Social Medicine and Public Health are taught concurrently. Year 4 intensifies clinical training with dedicated rotations in Internal Medicine covering cardiology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, and endocrinology, General Surgery with minor procedure participation, Pediatrics including neonatology and pediatric emergencies, Obstetrics and Gynecology with labor room exposure, Neurology, Psychiatry, Dermatology and Venereology, and Emergency Medicine with trauma case management.
- Year 5 is predominantly clinical-based (75% hospital time) with advanced rotations in all major specialties: Cardiology, Pulmonology, Gastroenterology, Nephrology, Orthopedics, Ophthalmology, ENT (Otorhinolaryngology), Urology, Oncology, and Anesthesiology. Students assist in surgeries, conduct supervised patient consultations in OPDs, and participate in diagnostic procedures. Year 6 is a full supervised clinical internship rotating through Internal Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, Obstetrics-Gynecology, Emergency Medicine, and Community Medicine with students taking on-call duties and managing patients under senior doctor supervision.
- Assessment methodology includes continuous internal assessment, mid-term written examinations, end-of-year examinations with MCQ (Multiple Choice Questions), SAQ (Short Answer Questions), and OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) practical assessments. Final university examinations in Year 6 include comprehensive written theory papers and clinical case presentations before external examiners. The curriculum specifically integrates FMGE/NExT preparation with faculty conducting regular mock tests using previous FMGE question patterns, special coaching classes for high-yield topics frequently appearing in screening examinations, and clinical case discussions formatted according to Indian examination standards.
This systematic approach has resulted in OSU graduates achieving FMGE pass rates comparable to students from other recognized international medical schools, with dedicated students clearing the exam in their first attempt.
FMGE / NExT Passing Performance
Osh State University Medical Faculty holds full recognition from the National Medical Commission (NMC) of India, the statutory body regulating medical education and practice in India. The university has been listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS) maintained by the Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research (FAIMER) since 1995, which is the primary criterion for NMC recognition of foreign medical institutions. Graduates from Osh State University are eligible to appear for the screening test conducted by NMC - previously known as Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE), now being replaced by the National Exit Test (NExT) which will serve as both the final-year examination and licensing examination for all medical graduates including those from abroad.
- As per current NMC regulations, all Indian students planning to pursue MBBS abroad must obtain an Eligibility Certificate from NMC before admission by submitting their NEET scorecard, Class 12 mark sheet, and other required documents. This Eligibility Certificate is mandatory for visa application and university enrollment. After completing the 6-year MBBS degree, students must complete a compulsory 2-year rotating internship (1 year at the foreign university and 1 year which can be completed in India at an NMC-recognized hospital after FMGE/NExT qualification) before obtaining full medical practice license in India.
- Students are strongly advised to verify the current NMC recognition status of Osh State University on the official NMC India website at nmc. org. in before enrolling, as recognition is subject to periodic review based on the university meeting NMC's infrastructure, faculty, and educational standards.
AV Global assists students in obtaining the NMC Eligibility Certificate as part of our admission support services and keeps students updated on any changes in NMC regulations affecting foreign medical graduates.

AV Global NExT Preparation
AV Global Overseas Education provides comprehensive NExT (National Exit Test) and FMGE coaching as an integrated support service for all students enrolled through us at Osh State University Medical Faculty. The coaching program commences from Year 3 when students have completed foundational subjects and begin clinical rotations.
We deliver structured weekly revision modules covering high-yield topics in Pathology, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, and Preventive and Social Medicine which constitute significant portions of NExT examinations. Each module includes concise video lectures by experienced Indian faculty, comprehensive subject notes in PDF format, and topic-wise practice questions with detailed explanations.
From Year 4 onwards, the coaching intensifies with monthly full-length NExT simulation tests conducted under timed conditions matching actual examination format and difficulty level. Our extensive question bank contains over 15,000 MCQs and clinical case scenarios aligned precisely with NExT blueprint and question patterns released by the National Board of Examinations.
During Years 5 and 6, when students are deeply involved in clinical rotations, we focus coaching sessions on clinical case discussions, diagnostic reasoning, and OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) preparation including history taking, physical examination techniques, and patient communication skills. All coaching content is delivered online through our dedicated student portal accessible 24/7 from anywhere, allowing students to study at their own pace while managing their university curriculum.
Live doubt-clearing sessions are conducted every weekend via video conferencing where students can interact directly with faculty and clarify concepts. Our pass rate data shows that students who consistently engage with AV Global's coaching program have a 73 percent first-attempt NExT pass rate compared to approximately 35-40 percent overall pass rate for foreign medical graduates.
The structured approach, regular testing, and performance tracking help students stay focused on NExT preparation throughout their MBBS journey rather than attempting crash courses in the final months after graduation.
