FMG Internship 2026: 1,067 Seats, Only 266 Filled; Calcutta HC Says Stipend Burden Cannot Block Allotment - Video

In a recent order, the Calcutta High Court observed that the State Government cannot use the financial liability of paying internship stipends as a "roadblock" to allot internship seats to medical graduates from abroad.

"The State, therefore, cannot use the issue of financial outgo towards stipend payable, as a road block for allotting internship to the writ petitioners/appellants," observed the HC Division Bench of Justices Rajasekhar Mantha and Anuj Singh, further noting that internship could be done even without immediate payment of stipend or on part payment as the claim for stipend could always be settled later.
