Medical students of India, who had returned from Ukraine during war, will now be able to relocate to universities in other countries and complete their studies, an official statement of National Medical Commission (NMC) said.
According to the statement, considering the special circumstances, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has agreed to recognise the academic mobility programme offered by Ukraine to allow such students complete their educational courses as the degree will be awarded by the parent Ukrainian university only.
Furthermore, as per the National Medical Commission (NMC) Act, students studying in foreign medical colleges are required to complete their education and obtain a degree from a single university only.
A public notice issued by National Medical Commission (NMC) on Tuesday said the mobility program offered by Ukraine has been considered in the Commission in consultation with the Ministry of External Affairs, wherein it was intimated that the academic mobility program is a temporary relocation to other universities in different countries globally.
However, the degree will be awarded by the parent Ukrainian university, the official notice from National Medical Commission (NMC) read.
“The Commission hereby conveys its no-objection for academic mobility programme in respect of Indian medical students who are studying in Ukraine provided that other criteria of Screening Test Regulations 2002 are fulfilled,” the public notice said.
