Independent check: While Pepgra does recruit medical writers, the claim misrepresents key requirements by stating MBBS is sufficient and that India is the primary jurisdiction, whereas official listings require PhD/Master's degrees and prefer English-first-language candidates from the USA, Europe, or UK.
