Footnote
If
you are an Indian National or a Non Resident Indian (NRI) and your
passport clearly states that your Nationality is Indian, then, we do
not have to take the permission of the Medical Council for you. This
means: You need to send only ONE bank draft for Rs. 1000 for the
Pondicherry Institute of Medical Sciences and need NOT send the
other one for the Medical Council of India. Also, the time for
processing your application and had hence the lead-time required for
your application can be reduced to just 6 weeks providing that
vacancies for electives exist during the period desired by you. The
fees, however, remains unchanged. |
