Union Minister of State for Health, Smt. Anupriya Patel recently clarified on the bar upon students with MBBS degrees from Pakistan based institutes from employment/higher studies in India. Relying on the National Medical Commission's earlier notice dated 28.04.2022, the Minister confirmed that if any Indian national or Overseas Citizen of India intends to get admitted to MBBS/BDS courses in any medical colleges of Pakistan, he/she would not be considered eligible to appear in the FMGE screening test or seek employment in India based on the educational qualifications acquired in Pakistan.
As per the rules, foreign medical graduates must clear the screening test, i.e., FMGE, and thereafter undergo the mandatory internship to obtain permanent registration to practice in India.
