The National Medical Commission (NMC) has made a significant decision to support medical students affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The commission has granted a one-time additional attempt for MBBS students who were admitted in the 2020-21 academic year and were unable to pass their first professional examination.
Key Points:
- Eligibility: Only students admitted in the 2020-21 batch are eligible for this additional attempt.
- Reason: The pandemic disrupted their studies, leading to difficulties in passing the first professional examination.
- One-time measure: This is a special provision and may not be applicable in future.
Vacant Seats:
- Undergraduate (UG) seats: 485 seats are available.
- Postgraduate (PG) seats: 247 seats are available.
This decision provides a much-needed opportunity for students who faced challenges due to the pandemic. It reflects the NMC’s commitment to supporting medical students and ensuring that they have adequate chances to complete their medical education.
