According to an October 4th article in India's newspaper of record, "The Hindu", Universal Empire Institute of Medical Sciences, the parent corporation of IUHS, has been banned from recruiting Indian students. The highest court in one of India's states apparently ruled the Universal Empire's medical school was not properly licensed/registered with the Medical Council of India.

The newspaper article was posted on the Foreign Medical School forum at www.foreign-md.com last week.
This court ruling does NOT effect IUHS conducting medical school on its campus on St. Kitts, West Indies. But a state High Court ruling against Universal Empire does raise questions about how the parent company of IUHS does business. Can anyone verify that the office of a Florida representative of IUHS was closed down by the state of Florida a year or two ago, also for failure to be properly licensed there?
