Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that recently, NMC issued an advisory regarding the eligibility certificates for the FMGs. Referring to the mistakes by the candidates while applying for Eligibility Certificates, the Ethics Board of NMC mentioned in the Advisory, "It has also been observed on previous occasions that various mistakes are made by the candidates while applying for the Eligibility Certificate (EC)."
The Commission suggested the following measures to avoid mistakes:
(i) The applications should preferably be filled by the candidate himself and should ideally avoid proxy for making applications for EC:
(ii) The candidates are also advised to keep their documents handy before filling application for EC; it would be ideal if the entries to be made are verified vis-a-vis entries in the original documents;
(iii) The candidates should provide their active mobile numbers so that alerts/deficiencies can reach them directly for rectification to obviate any delay in rectification. It may also be ensured that once the deficiency is conveyed only the deficiency should be rectified by the respective candidate as expeditiously as possible to avoid last minute rush; and
(iv) Candidates shall scrupulously check entries and ensure conformity with the details in the original documents to ensure quick processing/approval of applications if otherwise eligible.
"The above-mentioned steps are only suggestive and not exhaustive. Candidates are requested to exercise due diligence before submitting applications for Eligibility Certificates and ensure the mobile numbers indicated remain active," clarified the Commission.
