MBBS in Malaysia is a six year programme which includes a one year compulsory internship. Five years of the total academic term focuses on students with theoretical and practical knowledge. The students are advised to check course structure from college to college as the programme length can vary.
However, due to the Covid epidemic, the National Medical Commission (NMC) in India mandated in 2022 that foreign medical graduates (FMGs) who had finished their fourth and fifth years online be required to complete a two-year internship instead of one following their MBBS. The Supreme Court, in March, had requested the Central Government to assist the FMGs in bringing their conflict to an end. Check all details here

"For the second phase (25-28 May), we are working to provide the admit cards by the 22nd late night or 23 May. We will announce the City information slips for the third phase (29 May - 2 June) on 23 May," UGC Chief said in an update.
UGC says it is providing basic amenities such as water, refreshments, and covered shelters/waiting areas to candidates and their parents / guardians.
"Candidates and their parents were also regularly informed about the steps taken and the exam start status in the centers where there was a delay in starting the test. We will continue to take measures to provide a better experience to the students sitting for CUET-UG," the UGC Chief said.
On the Day 1 of the CUET UG 2023 exam, in 2% of centers (approximately 12 out of 450 today), the exam started later than scheduled but was successfully completed.
"The exam started late due to a couple of reasons, such as power fluctuations in some centers and, in others, students needing to follow staggered entry. Students were informed in the admit cards to enter the center in a staggered manner. But in a few centers, since they came late, there was crowding and subsequent delay in the start of the exam. We request the students to come staggered to avoid this kind of situation. We have now taken administrative measures to prevent such situations in the future. In many cities, we have also taken help from the traffic police to minimize traffic jams around the centers," the UGC Chief said.
