In a reprieve to 144 second-year MBBS students of nowdefunct Annai Medical College, who were denied permission to write exams due to shortage of attendance, the Madras high court has ordered the Directorate of Medical Education to allow them to continue their second-year classes till March to help them achieve the mandatory 75% attendance.
Justice N Kirubakaran also ordered the directorate to permit them to attend third-year classes from April along with their batch and to write thier second-year exams in August. The students were
transferred to government-run colleges in view of a court order.
On December 22, 2017, the high court had directed the state to accommodate all the 144 students of Annai Medical College, admitted during the academic year 2016-17 in state-run medical colleges since the college was denied recognition. The court also directed the government to make arrangements to take special classes to the transferred students, so that the lost attendance could be achieved.
In view of the order, the government passed an order dated March 2, 2018, transferring all the 144 students to government-run colleges but said that as per the MCI rules, it is impermissible for those students to have clinical hours within a short span of time.
Subsequently, the government issued a circular stating that the students cannot be allowed to write the second-year exams.
Assailing the circular, the students approached the high court through a review petition.
