Quick answer
To prepare a postgraduate entrance application, prepare degree and transcript, professional council registration, internship or experience evidence, citizenship, photograph and fee record, confirm the current process with the Medical Education Commission and its official application system, complete the official application, and keep the receipt or reference for follow-up.
Eligibility
- Medical, dental and health graduates applying for postgraduate study
- Applicants who need to prepare a postgraduate entrance application using matching and genuine records
- An authorized representative only when the responsible authority accepts representation
Required documents checklist
- □ Citizenship, passport or authorized guardian identity matching the MEC record
- □ degree and transcript
- □ professional council registration
- □ internship or experience evidence
- □ citizenship, photograph and fee record
- □ Official MEC application, result, matching or grievance reference
- □ Official MEC entrance, matching or admission payment receipt when applicable
- □ Any correction, consent, authorization, or supporting record required for your specific case
Step-by-step process
- Confirm that the Medical Education Commission and its official application system is the correct authority for this request.
- Compare names, dates, addresses, registration numbers, account numbers, and other identifiers across degree and transcript, professional council registration, internship or experience evidence, citizenship, photograph and fee record.
- Confirm the programme-specific eligibility, match degree and council records, upload complete professional evidence, and save the accepted application.
- Submit through the official portal or office and pay only through the approved channel.
- Save the application number, receipt, uploaded-file copies, and any written instruction for follow-up.
Fees and timelines
- Do not rely on an old fee screenshot or an agent's estimate. Check the latest official notice, citizen charter, portal, or responsible office before paying.
- Processing time depends on document matching, office workload, inspection, examination, technical review, or approval level. Keep the receipt and follow-up reference.
Common mistakes
- Using an old form, notice, fee, or unofficial link
- Submitting incomplete or mismatched degree and transcript, professional council registration, internship or experience evidence, citizenship, photograph and fee record
- Paying an unofficial person or personal account without an official receipt
- Ignoring the difference between a new application, renewal, correction, duplicate, verification, or transfer
- A valid professional licence does not automatically satisfy every experience, internship or specialty requirement.

After submitting
- Check the spelling and reference number on the acknowledgement or receipt.
- Track the application only through the official portal, SMS, email, or office contact.
- Respond to a deficiency notice with the requested evidence rather than creating a duplicate application.
- Keep the final certificate, licence, approval, account update, or rejection reason with the supporting records.
Avoid document and payment shortcuts
Do not alter certificates, hide mismatches, upload another person's records, share passwords or OTPs, pay an unofficial personal account, or accept a promise of guaranteed approval. Use the official portal and keep payment and submission evidence.
