Abstract: Study is undertaken in order to assess and analyze objectives laid down by various medical universities of India functioning under applications of Medical Council of India. Pretested set of questionnaire is prepared and information obtained from the students who have completed internship training at various medical colleges and places. Interns realize that CET examination remains a major hurdle in undertaking internship program in its true perspective. Students differ in opinion about keeping MBBS marks and CET examination marks 50 % each for achieving PG seats. Disagreements could be for a vital reason that students do not desire to take up multiple examinations for achieving goal of PG seats. Students consider final MBBS examination and internship program merely a bridge to cross over for completion of MBBS medical education. Suggestions for improvement, skill learning in 3rd MBBS and internship program is discussed in the text.
