AHMEDABAD: The theory exams for final year MBBS students in Gujarat University affiliated colleges are likely to be held from August 6 to 13. This was decided at the meeting of deans of various GU affiliated colleges that met on Friday at the NHL Municipal Medical College.

These dates are tentative and a final decision on it is expected to be taken after some directive from the state government, said sources.

The practical exams for final year 1 & 2 and second year MBBS students is likely to be held from August 15, sources added.

In the case of PG Medical courses, the exams are likely to be conducted after August 17.

While the dates for the terminal year exams for undergraduate students have been fixed tentatively, there is no clarity for intermediate year students for medical, dental and paramedical courses.

Many students are of the view that medical and dental courses are regulated by Medical Council of India (MCI) and Dental Council of India (DCI) and hence the recent guidelines of University Grants Commission do not apply to them. So, they are waiting for directives from the state education department, said sources. As per the UGC guidelines undergraduate students who are not in their final semester or terminal year are to be graded based on their internal marks and previous annual exam scores.

Gujarat University had already begun conducting exams for some final year paramedical courses which has been temporarily deferred. The varsity is yet to fix a new date for them, said sources.
