A group of Indian students enrolled for medicine in China fear cancellation of their degree if they are unable to return to China by June this year to finish their mandatory 12-month internship. The students have been in India for the past two years unable to return to China due to COVID restrictions. China stipulates that they finish their course by 8 to 10 years (depending on the time-period allocated by their universities). They have now taken to social media requesting for a solution.
“We are seeking help from both the Indian government and through our universities the Chinese authorities to find a solution to our problem. If we are unable to return immediately we would like an extension for completion of our course. We have invested a lot of time and money and it will all go waste otherwise,’’ said Vimal (name changed), a student from China. He adds that the 2013 batch, which is the worst hit, must start their one year internship by June or face cancellation of their certificate.
