HC asks if KNRUHS can hold second supplementary exam
Justice B. Vijaysen Reddy of Telangana High Court on Friday sought to know if Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS) was inclined to hold a second supplementary examination for MBBS first year students who failed in their annual and instant examinations.
The judge was hearing a batch of petitions filed by some MBBS students who failed to clear their annual and instant examinations. They contended that National Medical Commission (which came into existence since 2019) prescribed that multiple choice questions be given in the exams for students of medicine.
The KNRUHS, instead of adhering to such NMC’s guidelines, introduced its own pattern of examinations, petitioners’ lawyer Unnam Muralidhar Rao contended. The exam model suggested by NMC evaluates the medicos’ competency based assessment. This system yield the double benefits of inculcating discipline among students and relieve them of exam tension.
