“Any Indian national/Overseas Citizen of India who intends to take admission in MBBS/BDS or equivalent medical course in any medical college of Pakistan shall not be eligible for appearing in FMGE or seeking employment in India….” the NMC notification reads.įMGE or Foreign Medical Graduate Examination is a mandatory exam that allows doctors who have received their UG medical degree in a foreign country to practice in India. This comes a week after the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE)'s similar advisory when they urged Indian students not to go to the neighboring country for higher studies. National Medical Commission (NMC), the top regulatory body of medical education in the country has issued warning to Indian students about studying MBBS and BDS courses in Pakistan, saying they will not be allowed to practice medicine in India.
