New Delhi, March 28: The Centre informed Supreme Court on Tuesday that students who returned to India from Ukraine will be given one chance to clear the MBBS final exams both Part I and Part II exams (both theory and practical), without enrolling in any existing medical colleges.
According to the Centre, after completing these two tests, students would have to undergo two years of obligatory rotatory internship, with the first year being free and the second year being compensated, as approved by the National Medical Commission (NMC) for past cases.
The decision was made by a committee set up by the Centre to address the concerns of these students. The committee has highlighted that this will be exclusively a one-time choice and will not form a foundation for similar decisions in the future. The scheme shall be applicable to present matters only.
Around 18,000 students had returned to India from war-torn Ukraine, many of whom were looking for ways to finish their medical degrees there. The Centre’s decision to offer a one-time opportunity to clear the MBBS exams without enrolling in any existing medical colleges is expected to provide a much-needed solution to these students.
