Postpone Exams By 2 Months! 2nd year BDS Students Urge MP Medical Science University
Indore: The second-year Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) students have appealed to the Madhya Pradesh Medical Science University (MPMSU), Jabalpur, for a two-month extension in the examination schedule.
Voicing their grievances, the students have forwarded a memorandum to the Dean of MGM Medical College, pressing for a revision in the examination timetable. They asserted that insufficient time for semester preparation and incomplete mandatory teaching, spanning 240 days, have left them ill-prepared for the impending exams.
MPMSU has issued the schedule for medical exams and the BDS second-year exams are supposed to take place on April 3. The students have pointed out that it has been only a few months since completing the previous semester's exam. Hence, they did not have the time to prepare for the third semester. Moreover, the students are under tremendous pressure considering that the syllabus and preclinical quota have not been completed.
Some of the BDS students told Free Press Journal, “We have appealed to the Dean of MGM Medical College, as the college is the regional center of MPMSU. We have also dashed off letters to the vice-chancellor, registrar, and exam controller of the university for the same."
“About 120 students of Government Dental College and Indore Dental College, Rau, are being affected by the early exams," they added.
Taking cognizance of the demands of the students, Dean Dr. Sanjay Dixit stated that the authorities will forward the demands of the students to MPMSU. The authorities will discuss the matter and make a decision regarding the postponement of the examination.
