The status of foreign medical graduates seeking registration in India is complex due to the varying requirements of each state's medical council. While some councils have streamlined the process, others require multiple exams and extensive documentation. Here are some of the challenges foreign medical students face in India:

• Difficulty obtaining required documentation from their home country
• Language barriers, as most entrance exams are conducted in Hindi or English
• Limited availability of seats for foreign students
• Stringent entrance exam criteria, often requiring high scores
• Limited availability of government jobs and lack of recognition for some foreign degrees
• Difficulty in adapting to the Indian healthcare system and culture

To navigate these challenges, foreign medical students often seek support from academic consultants, international student services, and peer networks. They may also choose to pursue medical education in countries with more streamlined registration processes.
