SC allows Ukraine, China returned MBBS students to clear exam in 2 attempts-Education News

A bench of Justices BR Gavai and Vikram Nath modified the Centre’s suggestion of allowing them MBBS only one attempt as a one-time measure and disposed all the petitions of the medical students.

The Centre has submitted a report of an expert committee which said that as a one-time extraordinary measure, penultimate year students should be allowed to take the MBBS final examination. Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati, appearing for the Centre, said that in view of the direction of the court, a committee was formed by the government over the issue. The court observed that it is no expert and largely accepted the recommendation made by the committee, but said that only recommendation of concern was that the students were to be given only one attempt to clear the MBBS examination and hence modified it. The bench said that it is passing the order considering the special circumstances. The top court was hearing a batch of pleas fled by medical students who completed seven semesters in their respective foreign universities, and had to return to India on account of the pandemic and completed their undergraduate medical course through online mode.
