In pursuance to the order of the Supreme Court, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has permitted Indian students — who were in the last year of their undergraduate medical course, but due to COVID-19, the Russia-Ukraine war, etc., had to leave their foreign medical universities and return to India — to appear in the Foreign Medical Graduate (FMG) Examination.
“The above relaxation granted to the foreign medical students is a “one-time measure and shall not be treated as precedence in future”, the NMC stated.
Due to COVID-19, around 23,000 Indian students returned from various Chinese universities and colleges, mostly pursuing medical courses, while due to the Russia-Ukraine war, around 18,000 Indian medical students returned from Ukrainian medical universities.
