RECOGNITION OF DEGREE IN INDIA – SO FAR NO RECOGNITION (Though some degrees are mentioned in the MCI list)
It took me 3 years from start to end to finally get my approbation and Pg. But with proper guidance from MedZiel our doctors did it in 2 years with less amount of money mentioned above.
Personal opinion – Long, complicated, costly and tedious procedure in a foreign language but worth the benefits available once cleared. Patience and persistence is key!

Hey, do I have to create the Block account if I learn The German from my Home country instead of Germany? And Go directly there for FSP and Hospitation
Yes blocked account will still be needed since one isn’t permitted to work full time in Germany. This is needed to prove that one can support themselves financially when in Germany.
