The ongoing war between Russia-Ukraine has also affected thousands of Indian students studying medicine there. Most of the students have left Ukraine and many have been brought back to India safely by the government. Now the education of these students is hanging in the balance. Discussions are going on in the country whether the government can take any steps to complete the syllabus of these students. AnyTV is telling you about the measures by which the government can save the studies of these students from hanging in the balance.
government is considering
The government may soon take a decision to facilitate the students who have not finished their courses, who have returned from Ukraine. It is expected that the government can make changes in the Foreign Medical Graduate Licensing (FMGL) Regulation Act-2021 in consultation with the National Medical Commission. According to reports, a meeting can also be held this week on this issue.
What is FMGL rule
As per the Foreign Medical Graduate Licensing (FMGL) Regulation Act-2021, a student of any foreign medical college is required to have permanent registration to practice in India. For permanent registration, students must have a minimum of 54 months of education and one year of internship. Only then can students clear the FMGE exam and get permanent registration for practicing in India.
Admission to other universities and institutions
There have been many such reports in which it is being said that the government is getting the data of the students returned from Ukraine. It is expected that by getting these students admitted in a university in India or any other country, it can complete the remaining course. However, these measures will be adopted when the situation in Ukraine is not returning to normal. If things return to normal in Ukraine soon, the students may be recalled.
credit transfer scheme
For a long time, students have also been demanding a credit transfer scheme in the country. Credit Transfer Scheme refers to an arrangement in which a student is given the facility to change college during the course of the course. This facility is offered to students in various European and other countries. If this system is implemented in India also, then there will be facility for the students who have returned from Ukraine as well as future students. The advantage of this will be that the number of seats in colleges will increase and more students will get the benefit of medical education.
