New Delhi: The National Medical Commission (NMC) has notified the new curriculum regulations for the MBBS course.
Medical students need to mandatorily study an ‘elective’ subject. At least 75 per cent attendance in the elective is required to appear for the final-year examination and qualifying exam NEXT, states the new guidelines.
Significantly, each student must adopt three to five rural families.
From now on, there will be no supplementary/additional batches for those who fail to clear the first year.
