Medical students demand restoration of old exam system
Students of six medical colleges yesterday demanded restoration of the previous examination system that gave several chances to sit in the supplementary examination in case of a student's failing in any subject.
The new medical professional examination system risks medical students' education life, said the students in a written statement at a press conference at Metropolitan Press Club.
The new system gives only one chance for the supplementary examination if a third year student fails to qualify in a subject in professional examination, goes the statement.
If the student again fails in his supplementary examination, he will have to sit with the second year students as his third year results will be cancelled, it added.
Demanding change of the new examination system, the medical students earlier submitted memorandum to the authorities concerned, the students said.
Shahed Imran, a student of Bogra Medical College, read out the written statement while several students from Dhaka Medical College, Sir Salimullah Medical College, Chittagong Medical College, Bangladesh Medical College, Rajshahi Medical College and Islami Bank Medical College addressed the conference.
