Patna HC Relief to Doctors Who Failed in MBBS exams Over 3 Times, Allows Assistant Professor Applications

Patna: Providing interim relief to the doctors, who failed more than three times in the MBBS examination, the Patna High Court has given them provisional permission to apply for the posts of Assistant Professors in medical colleges.

This order was granted by the division bench of Acting Chief Justice Ashutosh Kumar while considering the plea filed by a doctor, who argued that the advertisement issued by the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) barred such candidates who have failed more than three times during their MBBS studies to be ineligible for the post of Assistant Professor.

While granting the interim relief, the HC bench clarified that the permission was being given to these doctors only as an interim relief, and it would be subject to the final decision of the petition.
