For the over 9.93 lakh students who recently cleared the National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET) this year, the struggle has just begun. To begin with, the ensuing tussle to get admission in medical, dental, nursing and traditional medicine colleges in the country is going to be ruthless. The ambiguity-laced new regulation of the National Medical Commission (NMC), the apex regulatory body for medical professionals in India, with respect to foreign medical aspirants is not going to help either. Making matters worse is the silence of the NMC in the face of scores of desperate medical students seeking clarity about their futures.
