Exams are usually spread over 90 days
Another crisis involving medical students was averted when the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS) agreed to provide a one-day gap between each paper in the upcoming MBBS and MD exams scheduled for December. Earlier this month, the university had decided to hold back-to-back exams after receiving guidelines from the National Medical Council (NMC) to conclude the exams within a month.
These exams usually spilled over a month-and-a-half. “There are over 20,000 doctors appearing for MD exams and about 60,000 MBBS students in the state, but there aren’t as many faculty members to conduct these exams at a faster speed,” said Dr Nikhil Honale, a resident doctor at Nair Hospital, who is set to appear for the upcoming PG exam.
