The Tamil Nadu Medical Students’ Associations has urged the Tamil Nadu Dr. MGR Medical University to conduct the supplementary examination for second and third-year MBBS students by the end of October.
In a statement issued, the association said the results of the university examination for second and third-year medical students conducted in February 2020 were released recently. Some of the students did not pass the examinations. Usually, the results of the examination were released in April/May and supplementary examinations were held in August. However, the regular supplementary examination schedule was disrupted due to the COVID-19 situation. This has led to fears among second and third-year medical students over the supplementary exams and course extension.
In view of these issues, the association requested the university to conduct the supplementary exams for second and third-year students by the last week of October.
The association noted that the university had held the supplementary examinations for fourth -year medical students who did not pass the February 2020 university examinations, in August.
