A REMINDER

Special Correspondent KOCHI: April 01, 2016 00:00 I
 The Kerala High Court on Thursday declared unreasonable and arbitrary a clause in the regulation of the Kerala University of Health Sciences (KUHS) to the extent that candidates who failed in one subject, either in theory or practical, should appear for all papers including theory and practical.
Justice V. Chitambaresh passed the verdict while disposing of a batch of writ petitions filed by S. Geethu, Thiruvananthapuram, and other postgraduate students in various medical colleges in the State challenging the clause 3.16 of the regulation.

MCI stipulations
 
The court observed that the Medical Council of India (MCI) regulations did not explicitly state that a candidate should secure a minimum of 50 per cent marks in theory and practical simultaneously in order to be successful. The MCI regulation did not forfeit the marks obtained in theory or practical in case of shortcoming in one subject, compelling the student to re-do the exercise all over again. However, the regulation of KUHS was not consistent with or in conformity with the MCI regulations.
