NMC allows Indian medical students from China, Ukraine to sit for FMGE | Education News,The Indian Express

Those who have completed course, granted a certificate on or before June 30 eligible for one-time relaxation

Final year medical students from countries such as China and Ukraine, who were forced to return to India owing to the Covid-19 pandemic or the war, will now be eligible to appear in Foreign Medical Graduate Exam (FMGE) — a screening test that foreign medical students have to clear to practise in the country.

Only students who have completed the courses and have been granted a certificate of completion on or before June 30, 2022, will be eligible for this one-time relaxation by the National Medical Commission (NMC), the apex body regulating medical education in the country.

“Thereafter, upon qualifying the FMGE, such foreign medical graduates are required to undergo compulsory rotating medical internship for a period of two years to make up for the clinical training which could not be physically attended by them,” a public notice from NMC said.

The foreign medical graduates will be eligible to get a permanent registration for practising in the country only after completing the two-year internship. The notice stated: “The above relaxation… is a one-time measure and shall not be treated as precedence in the future.”

At present, to appear for the FMGE exam in India, foreign medical graduates have to complete their training and a one-year internship at the university they are enrolled in. They then had to do a one-year internship in India as well to get permanent registration.
