[ALL FMGs ASSOCIATION(AFA) @official_afa_]

Today, we FMGs are at the NMC protesting against the notice published by @NMC_BHARAT on 6 March 2026, which gives clarification regarding COVID-19 online classes. NMC is issuing this clarification six years after the pandemic and is now asking us to follow it. Today, AFA (@official_afa_) and AIMSA(@official_aimsa), with the collective support of all FMGs, are demanding that @NMC_BHARAT withdraw this notice.”

[Admission Advisor.org @MBBS_Admissions]

OUR DEMANDS - We respectfully request the Government of India and the National Medical Commission to:
1. Ensure Equal Treatment of IMGs and FMGs
2. Regulatory standards must apply uniformly to all Indian medical graduates.
3. Avoid Retrospective Application of Rules
4. Students who completed education under earlier regulations should not be penalized later.

CLARIFY CRMI GUIDELINES TRANSPARENTLY

If internship standards apply to all graduates, they must be communicated and enforced equally.

RESPECT ACADEMIC PROGRESSION
Doctors who have already passed licensing examinations or entered postgraduate training should not be forced to repeat previous stages.

PROVIDE REGULATORY CERTAINTY
Clear and stable rules must be established so future students can plan their education without fear of sudden policy changes.

OUR APPEAL
1. Foreign Medical Graduates are not outsiders.
2. They are Indian students who pursued medical education abroad due to systemic constraints at home.
3. They have completed their education, cleared licensing examinations, and are ready to serve the people of India.

What they seek is not special privilege; only fairness, legal certainty, and equal treatment.
India needs doctors.

India should not lose them because of regulatory confusion.

Sign This Petition - If you believe in justice, equal opportunity, and a stronger healthcare system, please sign and share this petition.

Together, we can ensure that every qualified Indian doctor receives fair treatment under the law.

Justice and Equal Treatment for Indian Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs)

Sh Modi Ji @narendramodi
@JPNadda @JPNaddaoffice @MoHFW_INDIA @NMC_BHARAT
@NMC_IND
Every year, thousands of Indian students pursue medical education abroad due to the extreme shortage of MBBS seats in India. These students remain Indian citizens who aspire to return home and serve the nation as doctors.

After completing their medical degree abroad, they return to India and undergo the legally mandated licensing pathway established by the National Medical Commission — including the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) and compulsory internship.

However, in recent years, multiple notifications and interpretations have created serious regulatory uncertainty specifically targeting Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs).

Policies concerning internship duration, online classes during COVID-19, and compensation requirements have been applied retrospectively, even to students who already:
1. Completed their medical degree
2. Passed the FMGE licensing exam
3. Began their internship in India
4. Or even progressed further into postgraduate medical education

Asking a doctor to go back to a foreign university to repeat past coursework after already passing licensing examinations or advancing to higher education stages is both impractical and legally questionable.

THE CORE LEGAL and ETHICAL CONCERN - The Compulsory Rotating Medical Internship (CRMI) guidelines are fundamentally meant for all Indian medical graduates, whether they studied in India or abroad.

However, in practice, most regulatory notices explicitly target only “Foreign Medical Graduates” while remaining silent about Indian Medical Graduates studying in Indian colleges, even though:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many Indian medical colleges also conducted significant portions of their teaching online.

Yet no comparable regulatory action or penalty has been imposed on Indian medical graduates for online teaching. This raises a serious question of equal treatment and fairness.

If the CRMI framework is meant for all medical graduates, then why are enforcement measures directed only against FMGs?

DISCRIMINATION AGAINST OUR OWN CITIZENS - Foreign Medical Graduates are often portrayed as “foreign” doctors; but the reality is very different.
FMGs and IMGs are both Indian citizens.
One group studies in India due to available seats, while the other is forced to go abroad due to the severe seat shortage in Indian medical colleges.

Despite this, FMGs often face step-motherly treatment, including:
1. Prolonged or repeated internships
2. Delayed registration
3. Retrospective regulatory changes
4. Uncertainty in career progression

Such policies create the impression that the system is punishing Indian students for studying abroad, even when they have complied with every legal requirement set by the regulator.

RETROSPECTIVE POLICY IS FUNDAMENTALLY UNFAIR
A basic principle of governance and administrative law is that rules should not be applied retrospectively in a manner that harms individuals who acted under earlier regulations.

Thousands of FMGs completed their degrees, passed the FMGE licensing examination, and entered the medical system in good faith.
Introducing new requirements after these milestones have been achieved undermines trust in the regulatory framework.

It is unreasonable to expect doctors to return to foreign universities to correct past academic structures that were outside their control.

Impact on India’s Healthcare System
India already faces significant doctor shortages, particularly in rural and underserved areas.

Instead of integrating qualified doctors into the healthcare system, these policies risk:
1. wasting years of medical training,
2. discouraging future students, and
3. causing loss of valuable foreign exchange spent on medical education abroad.

Ultimately, the country loses both human capital and financial resources.

The new FMGE notification is creating uncertainty for 1000s of FMGE students who completed MBBS abroad during COVID disruptions. We urge the National Medical Commission to review and withdraw the latest notice and ensure justice for affected FMG students.
#FMGE #PMOIndia #NMC

[StoicMD @SciStoicMD]

NMC demands FMGs extend their study period & redo clinical training physically abroad — potentially adding 2-3+ years delay,even after clearing FMGE & internship.
Meanwhile, Indian graduates faced zero retrospective penalties for online disruptions.#JUSTICEforFMG @official_afa_

[StoicMD @SciStoicMD]

Courts have given relief before. FMGE passers deserve registration without endless hurdles.
This notice = unnecessary suffering after years of waiting.
NMC: Listen to FMGs! Withdraw now!

You have truly been a hero for medical students, especially the students who returned from Ukraine during the war. Your unwavering support and dedication to their cause have been deeply appreciated by all. @ianilradadiya

[dhruvv @dhruvdosi18]

Our medical admission process began in Sept Oct 2021 under Screening Test Regulations2002 after qualifying NEET and completing all formalities
Our admissions were fully approved before FMGL Regulations2021 were notified.Retrospective application of FMGL 2021 is unfair @NMC_IND

[dhruvv @dhruvdosi18]

Who joined foreign medical uni in Sept 2021 before 18 Nov 2021 acted under the Screening Test Regulations.Eligibility can't change after admission. Retrospective application of FMGL Regulations impacts 2000+ students & violates basic fairness.

I want to know from @NMC_IND the National Medical Commission as to where on earth (except India) can any country follow the following:-

@NMC_IND the National Medical Commission in its NOTIFICATION No. UGMEB/NMC/Rules & Regulations/2021/ dated 18th November, 2021 (Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate) Regulations, 2021 says –

4. Grant of permanent registration to Foreign Medical Graduate. – No foreign medical graduate shall be granted permanent registration, unless he has –
(iv) studied the mandatory subjects specified in the Schedule-I;
(b) registered with the respective professional regulatory body or otherwise, competent to grant license to practice medicine in their respective jurisdiction of the country in which the medical degree is awarded and at par with the license to practice medicine given to citizen of that country;

(Done the Indian students will obtain the license to practice medicine at par with the one given to citizen of that country from every country but that is possible only if they study the course and follow all the guidelines of that country at par with local students)

AND

@NMC_IND the National Medical Commission in its SAME NOTIFICATION says –

Schedule-I (See regulation 4) criteria to recognise foreign medical graduates applying for licence or permanent registration to practice in India:
2. Eligibility for primary medical qualification in a country outside India:
(ii) Content of course or Training leading to primary medical qualification
(a) The course and internship or clinical clerkship shall commensurate with the MBBS course of India in accordance with the Regulations on Graduate Medical Education, 1997 and subsequent amendments thereto, and shall include the subjects mentioned therein as are duly recognised by the Commission under sub- section (2) of section 61 of the Act;

Question for @NMC_IND to think and respond is:- How can any country on earth including USA, UK etc. give the license to practice medicine at par with the one given to citizen of that country while teaching the curriculum designed by a foreign country (in this case it is India) or say teaching the curriculum not at par with the country issuing the license?

IN SUCH A SCENARIO @NMC_IND MUST SIMPLY POST A NOTIFICATION IN WRITING THAT @NMC_IND DOES NOT RECOGNISE ANY COUNTRY ABROAD, AND INDIAN STUDENTS MUST STOP GOING ABROAD.

THAT WILL SAVE PRECIOUS TIME OF INDIAN STUDENTS + HARD EARNED MONEY OF PARENTS AND THOUSANDS OF CRORES OF FOREX OF OUR COUNTRY FROM BEING WASTED.

@ianilradadiya Ji @dryogendermalik Ji @drvkbhu Ji

I want to know from @NMC_IND the National Medical Commission as to which of the statements issued through various Notifications or Gazette shall the aspiring FMG take as binding on them as all the 4 Notifications have different meanings as per the language used and that is definitely going to harm all the FMG badly as well Indian FOREX at the same time.

@NMC_IND the National Medical Commission in its NOTIFICATION No. UGMEB/NMC/Rules & Regulations/2021/ dated 18th November, 2021 (Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate) Regulations, 2021 says –
The total duration of the foreign medical graduation course shall be completed within ten years from the date of joining the course.

@NMC_IND the National Medical Commission in its NOTIFICATION No. U/-15024/9/2023-UGMEB dated the 22nd November, 2023 says –
CAPPING OF TIME LIMIT TO QUALIFY FMG EXAMINATION:- The time limit for appearing in FMG Examination/ NExT will be 10 years from the completion of their training/ course in Foreign Medical Institution.

@NMC_IND the National Medical Commission in its NOTIFICATION No. U-15024/9/2023-UGMEB Dated 7th December, 2023 says -
ISSUES RELATED TO CAPPING OF TIME LIMIT TO QUALIFY FMG EXAMINATION:- All FMGs shall have to complete their internship within 10 years from date of joining their Foreign Medical Institutions to procure qualification equivalent to MBBS in India.

@NMC_IND the National Medical Commission in its NOTIFICATION No. U-15024/9/2023- UGMEB Dated 11th December, 2023 says –
Issues related to capping of time limit to qualify FMG Examination:-
What will be the time limit for completing internship for FMGs?
Ans: The time limit for appearing in FMG Examination/NExT shall be in consonance with regulations applicable for Indian students. All FMGs shall have to complete their internship in India within 10 years of date of joining their Foreign Medical Institutions.

God Bless @NMC_IND the National Medical Commission with long life and FAME.
