Britain has officially cancelled the Professional and Linguistic Assessment Board (PLAB) test it has held in India for a decade for the rest of this year in what is seen as yet another, possibly final, attempt to limit the entry of non-European Union doctors into the UK.
The announcement of the cancelled PLAB-Part 1 exam was made by the General Medical Council (GMC), which conducts the assessment to certify non-EU doctors to practice medicine in the UK.
The exam has been cancelled in all locations outside the UK. The GMC claimed the decision was taken because of "low demand".
Till March, hundreds of Indian doctors routinely took and passed the PLAB-Part 1 at home, only to flood into Britain looking for scarce jobs and training posts.
