Referring to this, AIIMS Director Prof. M. Srinivas mentioned in the recent notice, "it has been found that the attendance of students in the lecture classes is poor. Rather, they are found more interested in coaching classes meant for the preparation for the PG entrance examination. Besides, in the last few years, the method of teaching and learning has changed significantly with a larger participation of online methods and simulation-based training."

"There is a necessity to modify our current pattern of teaching, clinical training, and evaluation targeting long-term capacity building and develop a validated model for nationwide implementation. A committee is being constituted to suggest the required changes in the current format of teaching, clinical training and final year MBBS examination in a period of two months after due consultation with all stakeholders," further read the notice.

"The committee will submit its report to Dean for approval and implementation. Registrar may facilitate the committee by providing logistic support like booking the Dean's committee room for the meetings based on availability," it added.
