JAKARTA: Final-year Malaysian medical students studying in Indonesia will sit for their Medical Profession Programme Student Competency Test (UKMPPD), better known as the Exit Exam, in Malaysia, on Aug 16.

In June this year, Bernama reported that Malaysian medical students applied to the Indonesian authorities to consider exempting them from the Exit Exam as many had returned to Malaysia and faced difficulty going back to Indonesia because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
