The India question
The NMC rule is strict: the whole course, training and internship must be at one foreign institution, with no part in India or a third country. An Australian internship is competitive for international graduates, so anyone planning a career back in India must confirm the internship can be completed at the same university. Read medicine in Australia before applying.
