CSMMU seeks MCI's nod to award MBBS degree to 50 students

Updated on: Saturday, December 10, 2011

The Chatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Medical University has written to the Medical Council of India to allow it to award MBBS degree to about 50 students who has failed to clear the final exam despite several attempts.

CSMMU vice chancellor D K Gupta has sought the permission to pass about 50 students of the MBBS, specially those of the
reserved categories, of different batches, some as old as 1996 batch, varsity officials said.

The VC also requested the MCI to fix separate passing percentage for students belonging to the reserved categories as they get selected with less qualifying marks through the entrance examination.

The university's move came in the wake of allegations by some students that they were deliberately being given poor marks.

The varsity had also roped in external examiners but it had not much bearing on the results of these students, the officials said.

The university formerly known as King George's medical college is the first residential medical college set up in the country under British rule in 1905.
