- Program conditions can change by intake year. Re-check the current Study in Saudi listing and university notice before payment.
- Indian students should verify NMC/FMGE/NExT pathway implications before final admission.
- Do not treat generic 'High School Diploma' wording as enough by itself; keep a full document file ready.
- Confirm internship, clinical training format, refund policy, and licensing eligibility in writing.
- SAT 1200+ and a recent Class 12 certificate are key published benchmarks; applicants are normally under 25.
