Ukraine-Returned Medical Students To Be Given One-Time Option To Clear MBBS Exam
The Union government has informed the Supreme Court that medical students who returned from Ukraine will be given a one-time option to clear their MBBS Exams.
The Union Government of India has notified the Supreme Court about giving a one-time-only chance to clear their MBBS Exams. The Centre informed the apex court on Tuesday, March 28, that Indian Medical Students who returned back home in the wake of the Ukraine war, will be given a single chance to clear their MBBS Final Exams (Part 1 and Part 2) for both theory as well as practical papers, without enrolling in any existing medical college in the country.
Besides clearing examinations for both the MBBS papers, candidates will also be required to undergo a compulsory rotatory internship for two years. The internships would follow the National Medical Commission’s guidelines for previous such cases. As per the NMC guidelines, the first year of the training which the Ukraine-returned medical students will be unergoing shall be free, while the second year of the internship, would be a paid training.
The move comes following the recommendations from the committee setup by the Central government to address the concerns of these medical students. The committee has also underlined that this would be a strict one-time only opportunity for the students who have returned from war-hit Ukraine. The committee has also highlighted that the resolution in this case shall be applicable to current matters only, and shall not form a ground for similar decisions in similar matters in the future.
Notably, a large number of Indian Medical Students who returned from war-hit Ukraine have been seeking accomodation in Indian colleges. However, in an affidavit filed in this matter, the Union Health Ministry stated that such adjustments would hamper the quality of medical education in the country.
