New Delhi, March 4 (TIWN): The Centre is in discussion with the National Medical Commission for accommodating the Indian medical students, evacuated from war-torn Ukraine, in Indian colleges as they left their studies in midway amidst the ongoing crisis in the eastern European nation.

Students pursuing medicine from foreign universities need to clear the ‘Foreign Medical Graduate Examination’ (FMGE) in India to start practice in the country. According to a source, the government is considering the provisions on ‘humanitarian ground’ to make some changes in FMGE to adjust these students in medical colleges in the country.  The source said that the concerned departments are looking into the matter “seriously” and “will do whatever possible” to ensure that the evacuated students can continue their studies.  In this regard, the Union Health Ministry will soon consult with the NITI Ayog and other Medical Commissions to take a decision in this regard, the source added.
