SRINAGAR: JK Students Association here today has urged Chairman National Medical Commission (MNC) Dr. Suresh Chandra Sharma, to grant registration to J&K students of 2015-2016 session who have pursued their MBBS from Bangladesh without requiring them to undergo 2 years of internship, because even though they attended online classes upon their return to India due to outbreak of covid-19, but they appeared in offline exams and also attended clinical classes (for 4 months) physically in Bangladesh.
National Spokesperson of the Association Ummar Jamal requested LG Manoj Sinha to take up the matter with National Medical Commission (MNC) for earliest redressal. Online classes were compensated with offline classes after return. The notice of the same has been issued by Dean of the respected Universities.
The issue regarding granting of permanent registration to Bangladesh medical graduates enrolled as Medical students in Bangladesh of 2015-2016 session is a grave concern which needs to be redressed on merit as the said students are unable to pursue any further examination without getting their permanent registration & have already missed the previous NEET-PG due to this compensatory extension, he said.
“As per norms the medical students in Bangladesh of 2015-2016 session should have completes their degree in Dec 2021 which also includes the period of internship. But Due to outbreak of Covid-19, their degree got extended by 1 year. Requisite internship of 1 year was competed by them physically in their respective colleges. They qualified FMG exams, which is mandatory for getting practicing license in India. They afterwards applied for permanent registration but the same was denied to them the reason being that a notice bearing no. NMC/20659 (legal)/ 2022/ugmeb/ was issued by MNC, which required the students who returned back to India ( in particular from Ukrain, China and Russia) and appeared in online classes and exams shall have to undergo 2 years of compulsary intership inorder makeup for their clinical training which could not be physically attended by them.”he added.

When they returned back to their colleges in January 2021 they duly compensated the pending lectures & clinical classes & gave the Final Professional Examination in-person post-covid, similar to their Indian counterparts.
