So, when the students are in India doing the basic sciences, are they students registered with KMC?
If not, then are they registered as students with AUA and doing their basic sciences in India?
Or, are they registered with KMCIC when they are in India?

I know I have written this about 100 times here already. But let's try once again. KMCIC students become AUA students when they return to the US. Whether you would like to call this a transfer of credit or simply transitioning from Basic Sciences to Clinicals, that is what happens.
KMCIC does not need MCI listing (the original topic opf this thread).
Let me clarify something in regards to what "transfer"ing from one school to another means. Every university or university system decides how they will or will not accept credit when a student applies for "transfer". The student is reviewed first for Admission/Acceptance into the school and second for Placement into the curriculum. In this case (KMCIC to AUA), the review is only for Placement since KMCIC students are already accepted into AUA's "twin"/sister school in Manipal. Just as AUA students have the ability to "transfer" from Antigua to Manipal without having to seek Acceptance into KMCIC but rather simply Placement. KMCIC students do not seek Acceptance into AUA (whether from Manipal to Antigua or Manipal to 5th Semester, Miami).
I do not know how to address confused analogies between AUA/KMCIC and St. Chris or any other school. I don't know enough about how St. Chris was established, whether under the auspices of a UK school and its home institution or simply as a satellite. KMCIC is not simply a satellite of AUA. But rather a "twin" of AUA established under the auspices of one of the most prestigious Medical Schools in the world: Kasturba Medical College.
