Chinese and Russian MBBS' get a breather in India

UP, (India): Now the taboo against the Chinese and Russian MBBS’ is getting removed slowly as some Indian state Governments are taking positive response towards these MBBS degrees. Recently Uttar Pradesh, India’s biggest fourth state, has given green signal to “made in India” and “made in Russia” doctors by appointing them as doctors in the State health clinics.

Akilesh Yadav, Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, has also decided to appoint Indian students who completed MBBS in China and Russia on large-scale in the health sub-centres, primary health centres and community health centres of the rural UP.

What prompts Uttar Pradesh government to take such decision is that MBBS doctors from Indian medical colleges have hardly any interest in the Provincial Medical Services (PMS) of the state. The state government has also chalked out a plan to give a short-term training of allopathic medicines to the ayurvedic, homeopathic and Unani doctors and appoint them in rural hospitals.

Akhilesh Yadav government had recently announced 400 vacancies for MBBS doctors in the rural hospitals. And much to its chagrin, the government discovered that more than 50 per cent applicants had earned their MBBS degrees from Chinese or Russian medical colleges. Having little option left, it was finally decided to appoint them and give them a standard training to adjust in village hospitals."

As per the norm of Medical Council of India, these MBBS degree holders from Chinese and Russian medical colleges can practice in India after clearing test of National Board of Examination. They are already there in government jobs in UP. But we have discovered now that the MBBS of Indian medical colleges are staying away from PMS jobs. So we have to be content with only those who have secured MBBS degrees from China and Russia. This is the best option left with us," said health minister Ahmad Hasan.

Those who clear MBBS in India do not prefer a job in hinterlands of India. They generally prefer to pursue further education and earn MS and MD degrees. Later on, they would like to go abroad for specializations. After this they can enjoy a fat pay packet.

Initially, the government was not amused with the idea of China or Russia return doctors because they were treated as inferior to the Indian doctors who join MBBS courses after clearing an entrance test.

In China and Russia, all they need is money to get admission and secure the degree.

Why You Should Not Opt For IIT Bombay

This article is written by IITians in the blog Actors Imran and Anushka during a cultural program at IIT Bombay If asked to compare IIT Bombay to IIT Delhi, most students say that the difference is negligible. Both are in metropolitan cities with good options for hostels, PG accommodations, food and entertainment. Cultural activities are equally good as is the faculty and study methodology. Even placements at the two IITS are amongst the best in the country. Yet figures indicate that the top JEE rank holders prefer Computer Science Engineering at IIT Mumbai rather than IIT Delhi. But, we are here to tell you when and why you can avoid IIT Mumbai. Mumbai IIT was earlier placed in the suburbs, away from the crowds, giving IITians the space and peace to pursue their career goals. Today the area in Powai is surrounded by high rise building, malls and traffic snarls, bringing with it all the clatter and patter of a metropolitan hub. Just like the population and popular
