Studying medicine abroad offers an alternative to India’s limited seats and high fees, but returning doctors often face delays in licensing, training, and starting their careers at home. Every year, most aspiring doctors in India are left without a seat. In 2025, a record 22 lakh candidates appeared for the NEET-UG exam, while the country offered just about 1.29 lakh MBBS seats. Nearly half of these are in private colleges, where fees can soar from ₹60 lakh to over ₹1 crore. Even among the 12.36 lakh students who qualified, the vast majority still couldn’t secure a spot, highlighting the huge gap between ambition and opportunity. The Economic Survey 2024–25 pointed out that high costs and limited seats push thousands of students to pursue medical education abroad each year. In March 2026, the National Medical Commission (NMC) introduced new rules for foreign medical graduates (FMGs), including extra hands-on training for parts of MBBS completed online during the pandemic. After protests from FMGs, the NMC had to withdraw and replace the circular. For Indian students studying medicine overseas, earning a degree is often just the first step in a longer journey. With fewer seats and rising costs at home, studying abroad is becoming less a choice and more a necessity. So what options remain for those left outside India’s medical colleges? Why Indian Students Still Leave to Study Medicine Abroad Facing intense competition and soaring fees at home, many Indian medical aspirants view foreign universities as their only realistic option. According to the Ministry of External Affairs, nearly 12.5 lakh Indian students were studying abroad as of January 2025. Health professions make up about 2.8% of this outward mobility, which works out to roughly 30,000–35,000 students pursuing medicine and other health-related courses overseas each year. Over a five- or six-year program, these numbers add up, meaning that at any given time, well over one lakh Indian students are studying medicine across multiple countries. Russia remains a top choice, while China continues to attract a sizeable, though smaller, number of students. It’s important not to see foreign medical graduates (FMGs) as a single group. The quality of education and clinical experience varies widely across overseas universities. Some Indian students join well-established, recognised institutions, while others end up in colleges with uneven academics, limited clinical exposure, or uncertain outcomes back home. Language and curriculum differences can also be challenging—studying in Russian or Chinese, or dealing with unfamiliar disease profiles—but many students adapt and even excel. In fact, several FMGs complete their degrees fully prepared to be competent doctors. The real test, however, often begins only after they return to India. Why Returning to Practice Is So Tough The first bottleneck for foreign medical graduates (FMGs) is the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE), a national multiple-choice licensing test required to practice in India. This exam, which will eventually be replaced by the NExT exam for all graduates, has historically seen very low pass rates. In the December 2025 session, only 23.95% of candidates cleared it, needing 150 out of 300 marks to qualify. The Economic Survey 2024–25 cited similar past results as evidence that many foreign medical programs—especially those with weak clinical training—fall short of Indian standards. Clearing the FMGE, however, is just the beginning. Indian citizens with an overseas MBBS must still complete a one-year compulsory rotating internship (CRMI) in India, even if they’ve already done clinical training abroad. This has been in place for decades and was reinforced by the NMC’s Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate (FMGL) Regulations 2021, which require anyone who earned their degree after November 2021 to finish the full 12-month internship in India. As a result, a six-year medical program abroad can turn into an eight- to ten-year journey before a graduate can officially register as a doctor in India. The FMG pathway is best seen as a multi-stage pipeline, with each step often adding years to the overall process. Figure 1: The Long Return Pathway for FMGs in India In practice, the internship stage has become another major bottleneck for foreign medical graduates (FMGs). Internships are usually completed at teaching hospitals linked to medical colleges or at certain approved hospitals, but FMGs often struggled to secure vacant positions. State medical councils sometimes hesitated to accommodate them, citing limited capacity or lower stipends. In some cases, graduates had to wait for months—or even pay fees—to get an internship slot. The problem worsened after the Ukraine war and COVID-19 disruptions, which caused a surge of returnee students. The courts and the National Medical Commission (NMC) had to step in with temporary solutions, such as allowing some students to complete supervised training in non-teaching hospitals or directing states to increase the number of available slots. Pandemic closures and war left thousands of foreign medical graduates (FMGs), especially those in China and Ukraine, with disrupted clinical training and a complicated regulatory situation upon their return. The National Medical Commission’s (NMC) 6 March 2026 notice was later withdrawn and replaced with a clarificatory notice on 18 March 2026, after concerns from FMGs and other stakeholders. Under the revised rules, graduates who can prove that their online training was compensated by physical instruction abroad don’t need extra clerkship in India. Those who cannot must still demonstrate equivalence. Even after clearing exams and meeting all requirements, FMGs often face unequal treatment. A notable example is internship stipends. In India, medical interns typically receive a modest stipend set by the state or institution (around ₹10,000–50,000 per month in government hospitals). Yet in some places, FMG interns were paid less—or sometimes nothing—compared to Indian-educated interns. Protests and court cases followed, and in February 2026, the Supreme Court ruled that FMG interns must receive the same stipend as their Indian counterparts. These challenges create a widespread sense that the system is stacked against FMGs. While some caution about quality is understandable given the varying standards of global medical schools, the skepticism goes both ways. FMGs face higher hurdles for entry into practice, including a dedicated screening exam, even though

Jaipur: The Rajasthan High Court has stepped in to support a differently-abled student, directing state medical education authorities to grant her admission to the MBBS course. She had successfully qualified NEET UG 2025 under the PwD (Persons with Disabilities) quota but was denied admission earlier. Hearing her appeal, a division bench of Acting Chief Justice Sanjeev Prakash Sharma and Justice Shubha Mehta noted that the student meets the eligibility criteria. The court also observed that she is currently eligible to secure admission at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). As per a Dainik Bhaskar report, the student moved the court after the SMS Medical College committee declared her ineligible for admission under the PwD (Persons with Disabilities) quota. The committee claimed that her disability could affect her ability to perform medical duties. Her counsel explained that she has a permanent disability in two fingers of her right hand caused by an electric shock. Despite this challenge, she appeared for NEET-UG 2025 under the PwD category and secured a top rank in her segment. After the court’s intervention, she was examined by a medical board at Safdarjung Hospital. The board assessed her condition and confirmed that she is fit and eligible to pursue the MBBS course. The High Court directed that if no seat is available in the current academic session, she must be allotted a seat in the 2026 session. It also observed that she is currently eligible for admission to AIIMS Delhi, as reported by NDTV. Taking all reports into account, the court ruled in her favour and instructed authorities to grant her admission. It further clarified that her admission must be ensured, even if it requires allocation in the next academic session. In a related observation from an earlier case, the Rajasthan High Court had emphasized that doctors should not be prevented from pursuing higher education due to administrative hurdles. The court noted that qualified doctors are valuable to both the medical field and society, and higher education ultimately enhances public healthcare through improved skills.

बीआरडी मेडिकल कॉलेज में एमबीबीएस छात्रों की परेशानियां थमने का नाम नहीं ले रही हैं। 2009 बैच का एक छात्र 15 साल बाद भी फाइनल ईयर परीक्षा पास नहीं कर पाया। हाईकोर्ट के आदेश के बाद उसका रिजल्ट जारी किया गया, जिसमें वह दो विषयों में फेल पाया गया। यह लेख उत्तर प्रदेश के Baba Raghav Das Medical College (बीआरडी मेडिकल कॉलेज), में एमबीबीएस छात्रों से जुड़ी एक बेहद दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण और परेशान करने वाली घटना पर आधारित है, जिसने देशभर के चिकित्सा विद्यार्थी और उनके परिवारों में असंतोष और चिंता को जन्म दिया है। इस कहानी की जड़ तक जाने पर जो हालात सामने आते हैं, वे न केवल शैक्षिक प्रणाली की कमियों को उजागर करते हैं, बल्कि विद्यार्थियों के भविष्य पर पड़ने वाले गंभीर प्रभावों को भी स्पष्ट करते हैं। 📍 लंबी लड़ाई: 15 साल तक फाइनल ईयर में फंसा संघर्ष 2009 बैच के एक एमबीबीएस छात्र का मामला इस बात का प्रत्यक्ष उदाहरण है कि कैसे एक विद्यार्थी अपनी मेडिकल डिग्री हासिल करने के बावजूद 15 साल के लंबे समय तक अंतिम वर्ष (Final Year) में फंसा रहा। साल 2009 में इस छात्र ने एमबीबीएस कोर्स में प्रवेश लिया था, जो सामान्यतः लगभग 4.5 वर्ष का पाठ्यक्रम होता है। लेकिन हर वर्ष उसे कम से कम दो विषयों में बैक हुआ और वह अपने फाइनल इयर की परीक्षा को पूरा नहीं कर सका। इसी वजह से उसकी पढ़ाई अनिश्चित काल तक लटकती रही। इस लंबे संघर्ष के दौरान छात्र ने बार‑बार परीक्षा दी, लेकिन लगातार बैक लगते रहने के कारण वह अपने लक्ष्य से दूर होता गया। वर्ष 2024 में उसने फाइनल ईयर की परीक्षा दी, लेकिन डीनदयाल उपाध्याय गोरखपुर विश्वविद्यालय (डीडीयू) ने उस परीक्षा का रिजल्ट घोषित करने से इनकार कर दिया और उसे रोक दिया। विश्वविद्यालय प्रशासन ने इसका कारण राष्ट्रीय चिकित्सा आयोग (एनएमसी) के नए नियमों को बताया और कहा कि नियमों के तहत ऐसे मामलों का समाधान पहले स्पष्ट होना चाहिए। 🧑‍⚖️ हाईकोर्ट की भूमिका और रिजल्ट जारी कई सालों की देरी और प्रशासनिक उलझनों के बाद छात्र ने उच्च न्यायालय में न्याय की मांग की। कोर्ट के आदेश के बाद गोरखपुर विश्वविद्यालय को रिजल्ट जारी करना पड़ा। हालांकि बताया गया कि रिजल्ट जारी हुआ, लेकिन उसमें छात्र दो विषयों में बैक पाया गया, यानी वह पास नहीं हुआ है। इन विषयों को पास करने के लिए छात्र अब पुनः तैयारी कर रहा है और वकीलों से सलाह ले रहा है कि आगे की क्या राह हो सकती है। 📉 परिणाम और उसके प्रभाव इस पूरे घटनाक्रम का सबसे बड़ा असर व्यक्तिगत और भावनात्मक रूप से उस विद्यार्थी पर पड़ा है, जिसने लगभग 15 साल अपने सपने को पूरा करने की कोशिश में गंवा दिए। 15 साल से लटके रहने के बावजूद अंततः वह कुछ विषयों में बैक रहा, तो न केवल उसका डॉक्टर बनने का सपना टल गया है, बल्कि उसके जीवन में समय, ऊर्जा और आत्मविश्वास का भारी नुक़सान हुआ है। 🏛️ प्रशासन और नियम: समस्याओं का कारण बीआरडी मेडिकल कॉलेज और विश्वविद्यालय प्रशासन के बीच लंबे समय से पत्राचार और बैठकों का सिलसिला चला, क्योंकि विश्वविद्यालय का मानना था कि एमबीबीएस का प्रवेश कई वर्ष पहले एमसीआई (अब एनएमसी) के मानकों के तहत हुआ था, जिसमें किसी विद्यार्थी के लिए समय सीमा निर्धारित नहीं की गई थी। लेकिन दूसरी ओर, विश्वविद्यालय के तत्कालीन परीक्षा नियंत्रक ने आपत्ति जताई कि इतने सालों तक कोई विद्यार्थी कैसे एमबीबीएस पढ़ सकता है, जबकि यह एक निर्धारित चौबीस महीने का कोर्स है और समय सीमा स्पष्ट है। ऐसे नियमों और प्रक्रियाओं के बीच उलझे रहने के कारण छात्रों को काफी कठिनाई का सामना करना पड़ा। ⚖️ व्यापक तस्वीर और सवाल इस विषय पर केवल एक छात्र का मामला नहीं है। इससे पहले भी अन्य बैचों के छात्रों की समस्या सामने आई थी, जिनके रिजल्ट सार्वजनिक नहीं होने के कारण वे डॉक्टर नहीं बन पा रहे थे। यह चिंता इस बात को दर्शाती है कि मेडिकल शिक्षा प्रणाली में छात्रों को शिक्षा प्राप्त करने, परीक्षा में उत्तीर्ण होने और डॉक्टरी पेशे में प्रवेश पाने तक के बीच कई प्रशासनिक और नीति‑गत बाधाएँ हैं। 🧠 छात्रों पर सामाजिक और मानसिक प्रभाव इतने लंबे समय तक पढ़ाई में अटक जाने के कारण केवल एक छात्र का व्यक्तिगत जीवन ही प्रभावित नहीं हुआ, बल्कि इसके आस‑पास के लोगों और पूरे मेडिकल विद्यार्थी समुदाय में चिंता का माहौल बन गया है। ऐसे मामलों से यह सवाल उठता है कि क्या मेडिकल शिक्षा प्रणाली संचालित करने वाले संस्थाएं और नियम पर्याप्त लचीले हैं? क्या प्रतिभाशाली छात्र प्रशासनिक कारणों से अपने पेशेवर लक्ष्य खो सकते हैं? क्या सिस्टम में सुधार की आवश्यकता नहीं है? ये सभी विषय आगे चर्चा के योग्य हैं। 📌 निष्कर्ष बीआरडी मेडिकल कॉलेज के 2009 बैच के इस छात्र की कहानी यह दर्शाती है कि शिक्षा के महत्त्वपूर्ण क्षेत्र में भी नियमों, प्रक्रियाओं और प्रशासनिक निर्णयों के बीच छात्र भविष्य के साथ कितना संघर्ष कर सकता है। 15 साल तक अंतिम वर्ष में फंसकर भी नतीजे में असफल होना न केवल एक व्यक्ति के लिए बल्कि पूरे समाज और चिकित्सा प्रणाली के लिए चिंतनीय विषय है। इसे केवल एक व्यक्तिगत मामला न मानकर, शिक्षा प्रणाली में व्यापक स्तर पर सुधार की आवश्यकता के रूप में देखा जाना चाहिए ताकि भविष्य में ऐसे दर्दनाक अनुभवों को रोका जा सके।
