Mumbai: While appreciating the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM) for allowing additional attempts to students who failed exams for Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS), the students' wings of the National Integrated Medical Association (NIMA) has demanded to scrap the exam rule fixing a cap on such attempts.
According to the new rule amended in 2016, students are mandatory to clear four and half year BAMS course in 9 years following the carry on exam pattern.
Previously Medical Dialogues reported that in a similar move, few students belonging to the Gujarat Ayurved University moved to the Gujarat High Court questioning the Central Government rules that put a cap on the maximum number of attempts to clear the Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (B.A.M.S.) examination.
In their plea before the two-judge bench of HC, the 18 students had also pointed out the discrimination against the BAMS students as for other students pursuing any other medical course like MBBS or BDS, there were no such rules or restrictions regarding the maximum number of attempts at the examination.
