Hold Final year PG Broad, Super Speciality exams at earliest: NMC directs all medical colleges
New Delhi: Issuing an advisory to all the medical colleges across the country, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has directed the authorities to hold the final year postgraduate broad speciality and super speciality exams at the earliest keeping in view the local COVID-19 spread.
The advisory comes in pursuance of the declining rate of Covid cases during the second wave of coronavirus pandemic. The surge in COVID cases and corresponding lockdowns have obstructed the PG examinations process for a long time now.
Noting the same, the NMC in its advisory mentioned, "The COVID 19 caused disruption in all walks of life in the country for the last one and a half year. Expectedly the Medical students had to endure the major brunt of this. The NEET Examination was postponed, delaying the arrival of the fresh batch of Postgraduate students."
As a result of the pandemic situation, many Universities could not hold the examination for the Final year Postgraduate students. Hence the NMC had to issue regular and pertinent advisories regarding the matters concerning the examinations and students to tide over the crisis, the regulator stated.
