Bengaluru: Shocked with the decision of the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) to suddenly prepone the final year MBBS exams, the medical students of the State are worried over the lack of time for preparation.

Demanding a change in the University's decision, which has come as a shock to the students under the umbrella of ll India Democratic Students Organisation (AIDSO) has already requested RGUHS for withdrawal of the notification, and a revision in the exam schedule, reports Indian Express.

Issuing a notification the University has mentioned that the final year theory examinations will be conducted from February 22. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the classes for the ongoing academic year have started from May 2021. Accordingly, the examinations should ideally be held in May 2022, the students have argued.

As per the latest media report by Indian Express, this "sudden preponement" has come as a shock to the students as they have expressed their concerns over "lack of time" for completing their syllabus and have demanded the authorities to postpone the exams.

Speaking to the daily regarding the matter, a medico hailing from Bengaluru said, "While our college is yet to complete the syllabus, holding exams in February is impractical. Even if the portions are completed by the end of January, we require at least two and a half months to revise."

Further mentioning that classes had commenced only in May 2021, she added, "While classes were conducted online till July, following them used to be an uphill task for many."

Meanwhile, several organizations including the Medical Students Network of the Indian Medical Association (IMA)- Karnataka branch have extended their support to the students. They have also pointed out that this decision of preponing the exams would lead the students in "mental stress and pressure".

Writing to Dr. Kateel Suresh Kudva, the president of IMA Karnataka and also a syndicate member of the University, the students have pointed out that the supplementary examinations for final-year students were conducted only six months after the final academic year began.

They further pointed out, "the results of the same were announced only a month ago. This boils down to about 60-70 days to prepare for the finals according to the schedule."

Meanwhile, urging the University to revise the schedule, AIDSO has also extended its support to the students. While commenting on the matter, Ajay Kamath, AIDSO Karnataka state secretary told the daily, "The university is putting unnecessary pressure on students by scheduling the examinations early. The authorities must consider the concerns of students while making decisions."

Further mentioning that the situation was not different for the first and second-year students as well, he further added, "The university should change the schedule even for them."
