The National Medical Commission has clarified that Bachelor of Science (BS) medical students who studied abroad before the FMGL 2021 regulations must complete an additional one-year internship in India. While these students will continue to be governed by the Screening Test Regulation, 2002, the compulsory internship aims to ensure adequate clinical exposure to the Indian healthcare system. The clarification applies to students enrolled through both online and physical modes and is a one-time exemption.
