The MBBS/BDS graduates will have to provide their service as far as possible/as per requirement, the Government Medical Colleges established in other districts except metro cities, as Non-PG JR and as Contract Medical Officer in Primary Health Centre under Medical and Health Department.
However, the State has further clarified that as per the Government Order No I/676928/2024 dated 26.06.2024 for government medical/dental colleges, if the seat is left by the concerned candidate before completing the course after completion of the final cycle, they will be debarred from the admission process of the next academic session.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported complying with the National Medical Commission's earlier order, the UP Director General of Medical Education and Training removed the practice of imposing a seat-leaving penalty on candidates discontinuing the courses midway. Instead of imposing penalties on undergraduate and postgraduate medical candidates for leaving the seats midway, the State has decided to debar such candidates from the admission process for the next academic session.
