As a FOREIGN MEDICAL STUDENT we are not okay with the new draft proposed by National Medical Council Of India which states that Foreign Medical Students will not be allowed to change University,we can write NEXT exam only within 2 years of Graduation and have to pass an additional screening test along with Next Step 1 which will check our pre and para clinical knowledge. 

We want NMC to amend changes to this draft as adding additional screening exam is not fair for us because we will be competing with Indian Medical Students in NEXT already. Also no such deadline or limited chances are proposed for Indian Medical Graduates so why this discrimination with Foreign Medical Graduates when already India is short of Doctors. If we have to appear for NEXT we want equal opportunities and additional screening exam should be removed. Also we should be allowed to change University accordingly as many factors can be responsible for such action taken by a student which includes not able to adapt to weather or better opportunity in some other university.
