Yes, you can become eligible for an Indian medical license after completing your MBBS abroad, but certain conditions apply.

- NEET qualification before your admission abroad is mandatory.
- Your foreign MBBS degree must be from a university recognized by the National Medical Commission (NMC) of India.
- The medical course must include at least 4.5 years of study plus a 1-year internship, all at the same institution.
- You must clear the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) or the National Exit Test (NExT) to register as a medical practitioner in India.

These steps are essential to legally practice medicine in India.
