📑 What This Guide Covers
For medical, dental, and allied health graduates from RGUHS pursuing international licensing — particularly in Australia (AHPRA), the UK (GMC), Canada (MCC), or specific U.S. licensing scenarios — an attested syllabus copy is often required alongside transcripts and degree certificate.
The syllabus copy isn't a transcript or mark sheet — it's a detailed listing of the course content, learning objectives, and topics covered in each subject of your degree program. International authorities use this to assess whether your training is equivalent to their domestic standards.
What Is an Attested Syllabus Copy?
An attested syllabus copy from RGUHS contains:
- Program details — degree name, duration, batch year
- Subject-by-subject content for each year of your program
- Learning objectives and topics covered per subject
- Practical/clinical components for medical and dental programs
- Total contact hours per subject (where relevant)
- Examination structure — theory, practical, clinical, viva
- Attestation by the Registrar with university seal on each page
For medical graduates, the syllabus typically runs 50–100 pages. For dental graduates, similar length. For allied health (BAMS, BHMS, BPT, etc.), 30–60 pages.
Who Needs Attested Syllabus Copies?
AHPRA Australia (Medical, Dental, Nursing)
Australia's healthcare regulator requires detailed syllabus copies to assess training equivalence. The syllabus is part of the application alongside transcripts, degree certificate, and internship documentation.
UK GMC (General Medical Council)
For UK medical licensing, GMC requires verified syllabus content to confirm your training meets UK undergraduate medical education standards.
Canada MCC (Medical Council of Canada)
For Canadian medical licensing, MCC requires source-verified syllabus alongside credential evaluation. The syllabus may also be needed for some Canadian provincial regulatory bodies.
USA — Specific Scenarios
For ECFMG, the EPIC verification doesn't typically require a separate syllabus — but some U.S. state licensing boards (especially for nursing, pharmacy, dental specialties) may request it.
NMC (UK Nursing & Midwifery)
UK Nursing & Midwifery Council requires detailed nursing syllabus to assess equivalence with UK pre-registration standards.
How to Obtain Attested Syllabus Copy from RGUHS
- Apply at the RGUHS Registrar's office with the standard transcript application form, specifying that you need syllabus / course content for each subject of your program.
- Specify program and batch year clearly. Syllabus content varies by year (e.g., MBBS syllabus for 2018–2023 batch is different from 2014–2019 batch).
- Pay the syllabus fee via demand draft favoring "Registrar, RGUHS." Fees are ₹500–₹2,000 per set.
- Submit supporting documents — same as transcript application (degree, mark sheets, ID proof, internship certificate for medical/dental graduates).
- Wait for compilation. RGUHS compiles syllabus content from each subject manually — taking 30–45 working days.
- Attestation. Each page is stamped and signed by the Registrar.
- Sealed dispatch directly to your destination authority — or handed to an authorized representative for dispatch via tracked international courier.
Common Issues with RGUHS Syllabus Copies
Issue 1: Syllabus content doesn't match destination expectations
Some destinations (particularly AHPRA) have specific format requirements. Standard RGUHS syllabus may need to be supplemented with additional details like contact hours.
Issue 2: Bilingual / Kannada-Hindi-English mix
RGUHS syllabus is typically in English. If your specific course had bilingual content, request the English-only attested version.
Issue 3: Old batch year content
Pre-2010 graduates may face longer compilation times since RGUHS retrieves syllabus from older curriculum versions.
Issue 4: Multiple attestations needed
For some international authorities, RGUHS attestation alone isn't sufficient — additional Apostille or Embassy attestation may be required. Confirm with your destination.
Issue 5: Missing internship/clinical hours documentation
For medical/dental graduates, syllabus often needs to be paired with internship completion documentation listing clinical hours. RGUHS issues both, but ensure you request both.
