|| Medical Education & Student Welfare ||
An important decision has been taken to grant one additional attempt (mercy attempt) to pass the first professional MBBS examination for students admitted from the academic year 2019-20 and onwards. This step addresses the exceptional circumstances faced by students, including:
1.Disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
2.Health-related issues
3.Other personal and family difficulties
As a result of special efforts made for these students and their parents, this relief has paved the way for realizing the dream of becoming a doctor for all these students.
This student friendly initiative reflects the unwavering commitment of Honourable Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji and Honourable Minister Shri @JPNadda Ji towards student welfare.
