Before you apply: five checks for this college

  1. Confirm the World Directory entry F0000834 yourself at wdoms.org; the entry describes the school as it reported itself, not its recognition anywhere.
  2. Ask the state medical board and ECFMG whether the school is currently recognised and whether its graduates are being registered this year.
  3. Ask your own home regulator, in writing, whether a degree from Rutgers New Jersey Medical School is accepted for licensing at home (for Indian students: the NMC requires the whole course, internship included, at the same institution).
  4. Get the fee schedule and admission letter from the school's own office, not from an agent, and pay only to the school's account.
  5. Search the agent, consultancy or website you are dealing with on the fraud alerts page before paying anything.

What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0000834) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.

Verify before you pay anyone

  • No student reviews are on file for this college yet on TrustMBBS. Treat any consultancy's claims about it with extra caution until you find independent, first-hand accounts.
  • Recognition and licensing rules change over time. Re-check the current NMC-eligible colleges list and this country's regulations for United States of America yourself before paying anything.
  • Never pay an agent or "seat reservation" fee in cash, or before you have a signed offer letter directly from the university.
  • A guaranteed admission, a discounted "management quota" seat, or pressure to decide within 24 hours are classic pressure tactics — slow down and verify independently.
  • Confirm the medium of instruction, hostel/food costs, and total multi-year fee in writing from the university itself, not only from an agent's brochure.

This panel is generated from data on this page (WDOMS listing and student reviews) plus general precautions that apply to any MBBS admission abroad — it is not a claim, positive or negative, about this specific college beyond what's shown here.
