I am a Foreign Medical Graduate currently doing my internship in India. I have already cleared the mandatory screening exam required for all FMGs.
Until 5 March, I was eligible to appear for NEET-PG 2026. But suddenly, the National Medical Commission issued a notice giving a тАЬclarificationтАЭ about the COVID guidelines from 2019.
According to this new clarification, any FMG who attended online classes during COVID will have to extend their medical degree duration. For example, if a student took admission in 2019 and attended online classes in the second year due to COVID, their course will now be considered 6 years instead of 5 years.
However, earlier the NMC had clearly stated that students only needed a compensation certificate from their university, confirming that the online classes were later compensated within the 5-year course duration. Based on that rule, we submitted the compensation certificate while applying for our screening exam and also while receiving our passing certificate and provisional registration from NMC. At that time, everything was accepted without any objection.
Now suddenly, after all this, we are being told that our internship will be extended because of those online classes during COVID.
Many of us are already 26тАУ30 years old, working extremely hard in internship. On top of that, most FMGs are doing unpaid internships. NEET-PG was our hope тАФ that once internship is completed, we could appear for the exam, start our residency, and finally begin earning to support our families.
For the last 6тАУ7 months, I have been preparing seriously for NEET-PG. With this sudden decision, all that effort feels wasted. I know knowledge never goes to waste, but realistically we also need to start earning and building our lives, not just keep studying endlessly while working unpaid.
Another important question is about fairness. During COVID, online classes were conducted everywhere, including for students studying in India. Then why is this rule being applied only to Foreign Medical Graduates? The Indian Constitution talks about equality, so why this discrimination?
FMGs already go through an additional screening exam to prove that our knowledge meets the required standards. If the purpose is to ensure competence, then why is there no similar screening for Indian graduates before they start practicing? After all, every doctor carries someoneтАЩs life in their hands.
We are not asking for special treatment. We are only asking for fair and equal treatment.
How long will this discrimination continue?
We want justice.
And we want it now.

Dearest @AshwiniVaishnaw ji,
Why should a RAC passenger bear full charge for 50% of a side lower seat? Isn't it unfair?
Once the chart is prepared, Railways must refund 50% of the fare with interest for RAC passengers. The same source of payment can be used for the refund.
Pls implement this immediately. I see many ladies and senior citizens who travel by RAC, without sleep and they pay full charge.
If any of you reading this feel that this should be implemented immediately, comment with your thoughts and share until Railways makes it a fair deal for passengers.
This is long long overdue.
On behalf of Indian Passengers,
