Centre Considers MBBS Internship Stipend Increase After Four Years

The Union government is currently evaluating a proposal to raise the stipend provided to MBBS interns. This potential revision follows a four-year hiatus during which the internship allowance has remained unchanged.

The consideration for an increase signals a recognition of the financial needs of medical interns who are undergoing their mandatory year of practical training after completing their undergraduate medical studies.

While specific details regarding the proposed hike or the timeline for a decision have not been disclosed, the move indicates that the authorities are looking into the matter after a prolonged period.
