For medical fields like MBBS, if someone gets a degree from another country, do they need to clear the MCI license exam to practice in India in UK/Australia?

Yes, if you earn an MBBS degree from most foreign countries, you must clear the FMGE (Foreign Medical Graduate Examination) to practice medicine in India. This test ensures your medical knowledge meets Indian standards.

After passing the FMGE, you must also complete a 12-month rotating internship at an approved Indian hospital. This is required for permanent registration with the National Medical Commission (NMC) or a State Medical Council.

Medical graduates from the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are typically exempt from the FMGE, provided their degree and registration meet Indian regulations. Rules are subject to change.
