Yes, an MBBS degree obtained from Italy is valid in India, subject to certain conditions and requirements.

To practice medicine in India with an MBBS degree obtained from Italy, the candidate must fulfill the following conditions:
  1. The candidate must obtain the eligibility certificate from the Medical Council of India (MCI) or the National Board of Examinations (NBE) by appearing for the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE).

  2. The candidate must complete a one-year internship in a recognized hospital in India.
Once the candidate fulfills these requirements, they can register with the State Medical Council and practice medicine in India.

One example of a person who obtained an MBBS degree from Italy and is currently practicing medicine in India is Dr. Mahesh Fulwani. Dr. Fulwani completed his MBBS degree from the University of Bologna in Italy and then cleared the FMGE examination to obtain the eligibility certificate from the Medical Council of India. He completed his internship at Sir H.N. Reliance Foundation Hospital in Mumbai, India, and is currently working as a resident doctor in the department of Cardiology at the same hospital.

Yes, an MBBS degree from Italy is recognized as valid in India, provided the degree is obtained from a recognized and accredited medical university or institution in Italy.

However, it is important to note that Indian students who have obtained their MBBS degrees from foreign universities, including Italy, are required to clear the Foreign Medical Graduates Examination (FMGE) conducted by the National Board of Examinations (NBE) in India in order to practice medicine in the country.

In addition, it is recommended that students verify the accreditation status of the university or institution from which they are planning to obtain their MBBS degree, as this can impact their eligibility to practice medicine in India.
