Members of the National Students Union of India (NSUI) and representatives of undergraduate medical students met Gujarat University authorities on Wednesday.

While the NSUI members pressed for their demand that the varsity calls off the exams for medical, dental and paramedical courses, the undergraduate medical students are opposed to this idea. They want the exams to be held as scheduled.

NSUI wants the varsity to defer the exams in line with GU’s deferral of exams for arts, commerce, science, and education colleges.

Gujarat University’ decision to defer college-level exams that were scheduled to be held in two phases from July 2 and July 13, did not include medical, dental and paramedical courses.

NSUI members are of the view that medical students are at equal risk as candidates of other faculties, hence their exams should also be deferred given the ongoing Covid-19 crisis.

The medical students want college-level exams to be completed on time so they can take the entrance exams for superspeciality courses.
