Guidelines for issuing a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for foreign observership in Indian medical schools and colleges have been published by the National Medical Commission (NMC). The guidelines have been applicable since 1 March 2023.

The guidelines by NMC are as follows:

Without the permission of NMC, no foreign national will be permitted to take electives or act as an observer in any capacity at any Indian medical college.
The number of foreign nationals participating in electives or observerships in the UG category during a particular academic year cannot be more significant than 5% of the medical college's authorised annual intake.
An institution may not accept more than two foreign medical doctors per year from each specialty for electives or observerships in the PG category.
Only a 90-day time is allowed for electives or observerships.
