Tashkent Medical Academy was established in 1919 as the Turkestan State University Medical Faculty, making it one of the oldest medical institutions in Central Asia and the entire former Soviet Union. The founding rector was Professor Nikolai Petrovich Kravkov, a distinguished Russian pharmacologist who pioneered organ perfusion research.
Initially serving only 60 students, the institution trained physicians for the entire Central Asian region during the early Soviet period. In 1930, it was reorganized as the independent Tashkent State Medical Institute, expanding to include separate faculties for General Medicine, Pediatrics, and Stomatology.
The institution gained WHO recognition in 1978 and was listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS) in 1988, enabling international student enrollment. Following Uzbekistan's independence in 1991, it was upgraded to Academy status in 1992 under the Ministry of Health of Uzbekistan, reflecting its expanded role in postgraduate medical education and research.
Today, TMA has produced over 65,000 physicians working across 47 countries. Notable alumni include Dr.
Rustam Azimov practicing cardiothoracic surgery in Germany, Dr. Priya Malhotra heading the Internal Medicine department at a corporate hospital in Bangalore, and Dr.

Career Pathways After Graduation
After graduating from Tashkent Medical Academy with an MBBS degree, students must clear the National Exit Test (NExT) to obtain medical license and practice rights in India. NExT is conducted by the National Board of Examinations and serves as both licentiate examination and postgraduate entrance test. The exam consists of multiple-choice questions covering preclinical, paraclinical, and clinical subjects along with OSCE practical assessments testing clinical skills and patient management scenarios.
- Upon clearing NExT, graduates apply for provisional registration with their respective State Medical Council, which typically takes 2-3 months for document verification and processing. Starting salary for MBBS doctors in India ranges from Rs. 4 Lakhs to Rs.
- 8 Lakhs annually in private hospitals and clinics, while government positions through state recruitment exams offer Rs. 6 Lakhs to Rs. 10 Lakhs annually with additional allowances.
- After completing one-year mandatory rural service in some states, doctors qualify for permanent registration. Postgraduate specialization opportunities are available through NEET-PG examination, where NExT scores may be considered for eligibility in future once the unified system is fully implemented. Government medical colleges offer MD/MS seats with stipend, while private colleges charge fees ranging from Rs.
- 20 Lakhs to Rs. 1. 5 Crores depending on specialty and institution.
The curriculum at Tashkent Medical Academy emphasizes clinical case-based learning and bedside teaching during Years 4-6, providing strong foundation for NExT clinical case scenarios and OSCE stations. Students who consistently revise Indian-pattern questions alongside university exams and enroll in focused NExT coaching during final years achieve better outcomes in the licensing examination.

We maintain a full-time local representative in Tashkent - Mr. Rajesh Kumar, who has been coordinating student support for 8 years. His contact number is shared with every student and parent, and he is available for emergencies, hostel issues, university documentation, and any support needed during the six-year journey. What truly sets AV Global apart is our parent-focused approach - we communicate honestly about challenges students may face, provide realistic expectations about examination pass rates and career timelines, and remain engaged with students throughout their education, not just until admission is completed.
