Research paper Operational Difficulties in M.B.B.S. 2^nd Professional Course Due to MCI Regulations: Is MCI Listening?

Students of 1^st professional if failed during final exams are not allowed to attend classes of 2^nd professional according to MCI rules. These students appear in supplementary exams of l^st professional and after clearing them, join 2^nd professional late by 4–6 months. Here lies the operational difficulty: conducting separate supplementary batch for them in 2^nd professional is not feasible; and asking them to attend classes with regular batch is a cruelty to them as they will not gain anything when one-third syllabus and basic concepts in 2^nd professional subjects have already been covered. Moreover, these supplementary students often rush to courts to have remedial measures-to allow them to appear with regular batch in 2^nd professional exams. Sometimes their plea is allowed, sometimes it is dismissed. This paper discusses all these difficulties faced both by faculty and students and also suggest some remedial measures for kind consideration by MCI.
