Gorakhpur Medical College Seeks NMC Ruling on Student Stuck in MBBS First Year for 11 Years

Overview

• BRD Medical College has escalated the case to the National Medical Commission and will act after receiving directions, the principal said.
• The student failed the first-year exam in 2015 and has not filed any examination form or attempted a retake for 11 years.
• Because rules allow a failed first-year to reappear without fresh admission, his enrollment remains valid and cancellation has not been possible.
• With active enrollment, he continues to live in the undergraduate hostel, where mess charges remain unpaid because fees are collected with the exam form.
• Repeated counselling and outreach to his father have produced no response, leaving the college with few administrative options.
