New Delhi: Medical courses in Pakistan, including Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) and Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) will not be considered valid in India, the National Medical Commission (NMC) said in a statement. The Commission advised the medical aspirants not to travel to Pakistan for pursuing medical education.
According to the NMC, ‘any Indian national/ overseas citizen of India who intends to take admission in MBBS/ BDS or equivalent medical course in any medical college of Pakistan shall not be eligible for appearing in FMGE or seeking employment in India on the basis of educational qualifications acquired in Pakistan except those who had joined Pakistan degree colleges/ institutions before December 2018’.

However, such degrees will be valid for migrants and their children.
