India Medical Degree Recognition Policy for Pakistani Graduates: Govt issues advisory
The Central government has ruled out any possibility of reconsidering its advisory prohibiting Indian nationals and Overseas Citizens of India (OCIs) with medical degrees from Pakistan from seeking employment or higher education in India.
In reply to a question of NC MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi in the Lok Sabha, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has said that the public notice issued by the National Medical Commission (NMC) on April 28, 2022, remains operational.
According to the Ministry, however, candidates enrolled in Pakistani medical colleges before December 2018 or those who obtained security clearance from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) are eligible to appear in India’s Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) or pursue employment in the country.
The government has, however, clarified that an exception has been made for migrants and their children who have acquired Indian citizenship and hold degrees from Pakistan and have been given the required security clearance.
