While the University Grants Commission (UGC) and All India Counseling for Technical Education (AICTE) had already issued a notice warning students against admission to Pakistani colleges or any other educational institution in Pakistan, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has now also issued a Warning issued for ‘medical students’ against studying in Pakistan.
NMC notices against obtaining a Pakistani degree are specific to MBBS and BDS students. The commission has issued a notice forbidding students from pursuing higher education in Pakistan’s medical schools. The notice states that if one chooses a culinary degree, he/she will not be allowed to appear for FMGE in India. In addition, the decision to choose a degree from Pakistan can also affect employment in India.
UGC, AICTE said – Indian students should not be allowed to enter Pakistani institutions or else they will not get a job in their country
The official notice stated: “Any Indian Citizen / Overseas Citizen of India who is a resident of Pakistan and who has obtained an educational qualification (in any discipline) in Pakistan, except candidates who had joined a Pakistani degree program before December 2018 / Institution, Those seeking admission to MBBS/BDS or equivalent medical degree in medical college are not eligible on the basis of appearing in FMGE or seeking employment in India.
