Srinagar: Medical Council of India (MCI) has stated that any qualification obtained from medical colleges in Pakistan Administered Kashmir shall not entitle a person to practice modern medicine in India.

“Accordingly, any medical institution in Pakistan occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh (PoJKL) requires permission and recognition under the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956,” the notice issued by Dr RK Vats reads.
“Therefore, any qualification obtained from medical colleges located within these illegally occupied areas of India shall not entitle a person for grant of registration under Indian Medical Council Act 1956 to practice modern medicine in India,” it said.
