UP FMGs protest over Inadequate Internship Seats

DWF termed the situation as "extremely worrying", pointing out that "over 1,000 FMGs have applied and have also paid an application fee of Rs 6,000 each".

Mentioning how the delay is affecting the FMGs, who have been waiting to start their internship for five months, the association requested the UPMC Registrar to pay immediate attention to the issue and instruct the concerned authorities to increase the number of available seats so that the internship opportunity is provided to the students on time.

The All FMGs Association also raised the issue. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the association mentioned, "Uttar Pradesh has over 2,500 internship seats available for FMGs as per @NMC_BHARAT, yet only around 800 have been released so far. More than 1,000 FMGs applied, each paying an application fee of ₹6,000. This is a serious injustice to those who have been waiting to begin their internship for the past five months. The concerned authorities must ensure that the number of available seats is increases immediately."

AFA also shared the screenshot of a reply by UPMC, which stated "Please do the choice filling, those who donot get seats can try in other state council or wait for next counselling whenever happens."

Sharing the screenship of the mail from UPMC, the All FMGs Association mentioned in an X post, "Foreign medical graduates waited for 5 months, stressing out about start of internship, and now UPMC has released fewer seats which will left 500+ Fmgs with no internship and wants FMGs to go to other states for their internships. Is this we deserve from state like Uttar Pradesh @myogiadityanath g? @NMC_BHARAT @myogioffice @UPGovt @CMOfficeUP Please take swift action on it and increase the number of seats."
