The decision came as a result of the Supreme Court’s request for a policy, in the previous year
The center has given a big relief to the final year students who returned from Ukraine and China due to the pandemic and the Ukraine-Russia war. It has decided to allow these students, who were in their final years to write the M.B.B.S final exam without getting admitted into any medical colleges in India.
The government has stepped into action by giving them a chance to write the final year exams as a onetime rescue measure so that they could complete their course and pursue their profession. The students have to pass the practical and theory exams as per the existing syllabus.
The students, however, have to complete two years of rotatory internships after the completion of these examinations. The center had applied to the court, in the previous year, for framing a policy by which the students could clear the examinations. Under this light, Center took a decision in the matter.
As these students did not get a chance to pursue their education in medicine, the Supreme Court had requested the National Medical Commission and Center to prepare a solution to cater their clinical training needs to make them eligible to practice medicine here.
The Supreme Court considered it as a humanitarian problem. Further, it was the government responsible to protect the interest of the students. The Supreme Court also encouraged the government to set up a committee to find a solution to the problem. A solution to the problem was necessary as the students’ careers affected their family, because they had spent all their hard earned money on the children’s education.
