Thiruvananthapuram: An MBBS student from the Government Medical College (GMC) Manjeri, who failed to clear the first-year MBBS examination after four attempts, has been granted relief by the Kerala Government. The state has exempted the student from paying the discontinuation fee.

The student was admitted to the MBBS course back in 2021 and was pursuing her MBBS course at GMC, Manjeri.

As per the prospectus for admission to professional degree courses, if candidates after getting admitted to courses in Government/Self-financing medical & dental colleges for MBBS/BDS courses discontinue the course after the third allotment in the same academic year, to join other courses/colleges or for other purposes, they have to pay liquidated damages of Rs 10 lakh for MBBS course and Rs 5 lakh for BDS courses.
