NMC grants extra attempt to MBBS students of 2020-21 batch who couldn't pass exam

The National Medical Commission (NMC) has granted an additional attempt (FIFTH attempt) to MBBS students who enrolled during the 2020-21 academic year and faced challenges in passing their first professional MBBS examination, attributed to the disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

''The National Medical Commission decided to allow one additional attempt (FIFTH attempt) to such MBBS students who were



admitted in medical colleges during the academic year 2020-21 and could not pass their first professional MBBS examination as this batch was also affected by Covid-19 pandemics,'' the NMC said in a public notice.

This decision aims to provide relief to students affected by the circumstances surrounding the pandemic. The NMC emphasised that this is a one-time measure and should not set a precedent for future considerations.
