The West Bengal University of Health Sciences (WBUHS) has introduced new measures to enhance transparency and prevent malpractice during MBBS exams in the state.
CCTV Surveillance: All MBBS exam centers will be under CCTV surveillance, with footage stored for one year.
Live-Streaming: Exams will be live-streamed for real-time monitoring and transparency.
Anonymised Answer Sheets: Answer sheets will use barcodes instead of student names for anonymity.
Odd-Even Seating: Students will follow an odd-even roll number seating arrangement to discourage cheating.
Response to Junior Doctors’ Advocacy: These changes come after protests by junior doctors calling for stricter exam protocols and to address unqualified students receiving MBBS degrees.
