MBBS students who could not complete their under-graduate medical course in due time can complete their course from the point where they had left the course. The only requirement is 75 per cent attendance in a subject for appearing in the examination.
Interestingly, the Medical Educations Regulation do not provide for any time-limit in which the MBBS course is required to be completed. Hence, for an MBBS student, owing to an exigency/exceptional circumstances has left the course in between, is permitted to resume his studies from the point from where he had left the course.
“The course can be completed by him after meeting the attendance requirement. In this regard, no duration for the gap period is required to be provided for, as the regulations do not prescribe the time duration in which the MBBS course of four and a half years with an additional internship of one year is required to be completed,” reads the regulation.
The only requirement is 75 per cent compulsory attendance inclusive of attendance in non-lecture teaching i.e. seminars, group discussions, tutorials, demonstrations, practicals, hospital (tertiary, secondary, primary) posting and bed side clinics.
While, in the recent executive committee meeting it was decided that a policy is needed to be formulated regarding joining/re-admission of candidates to MBBS course for which a legal opinion on what should be the duration of the leave allowed should be sought. The committee has given permission to three students to resume their studies after they availed long leaves. “As such the concept of leave of any kind whatsoever is not envisaged in the MBBS course,” reads the minutes of the meeting.
The executive committee of the council observed the matter with regard to re-admission of one George Nisha T.K. George, Jubilee Mission Medical College & Research Institute, Thrissur, after long leave was placed before the executive committee of the council.
The committee decided to allow Ms George Nisha T.K. in the MBBS course since she was admitted to final MBBS course during 2013 after availing long leave on medical grounds.
“Further, the executive committee of the council decided to allow the application of these three candidates and permit them to resume their studies,” it adds further.
