As there is no any scientific ranking so far in Nepal; all the medical colleges boast that their college is the best in the country.
We have tried to bring unbiased and accurate ranking of the Medical Colleges of Nepal. This ranking is based on following major criteria:
- Performance of students in Annual Examination
- Performance of students in Nepal Medical Council Licensing examination
- Priority Medical College for students during the time of enrollment.
- Review of students
- Popular vote of students

- Hospital size and facilities
We do not claim that this ranking is the accurate ranking but we are sure that this ranking represents overall status of Medical Colleges and will provide valuable guidance for students during the time of enrollment.
* criteria 2 does not apply as students has not yet appeared in the licensing exam. Students of first batch are now doing internships.
