An MBBS student told Orissa post, "We all are in dilemma. All top officials are passing the buck. There is no clarity on the exam dates and even classes which are important for preparing for the exam have gone for a toss. Our college authorities say they are yet to get any information from the universities for exam dates".
Moreover, the students also stated that online classes might be arranged but to organize it with a proper structure the help of the state administration should be required.
"There were some efforts to start online classes in some medical colleges but there is no such platform which could accommodate 250 MBBS students and teacher at one place. Those who can accommodate such numbers charge money. We need government support for such online classes otherwise our classes will remain suspended for an indefinite period," another MBBS student said.
