An approximate figure of 10,000 Indians in India who have completed their undergraduate medical education abroad are unemployed or under-employed at the present scenario.

The primary reason for the same is because they have not been able to clear the screening test mandated by the Medical Council of India (MCI).

Since  the year 2002, students who have studied medicine abroad have had to appear for a screening test conducted by MCI, the regulatory authority for medical education. Only those students who clear the test, administered by the National Board of Examinations, get certificates from the state medical council permitting them to do a year-long internship in a university or hospital in the state.

The highest of students passing the screening test as been 50 percent in 2005. Pass percentages have varied from a disappointing nine percent in 2003 to twenty seven percent in 2011.

An average percent that fails in the test, every time it is held in March or September is about seventy five percent.
