Grant graduation degree to failed SC/ST students - CSMMU
December 06, 2011
Lucknow: The Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Medical University (CSMMU)
has recommended the Medical Council of India (MCI) to grant Graduation
Degree to SC/ST medical students, who have failed to pass out the
final exams even after repeated attempt. Few among them are trying to
clear the exam since 1996.
Earlier, about 50 reserved category students blamed the varsity's
teachers for deliberately giving SC/ST students less marks.
This move took place few months before assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh
as, here, scheduled castes and scheduled tribes constitute 18% of the
electorates.
On Monday, Prof. DK Gupta, the Vice-Chancellor of the University sent
a letter to MCI, which stated that as students failed consecutively on
several attempts, they should be allowed to have a degree.
He also suggested that a separate passing percentage should be fixed
for reserved category students, as for them medical entrance test's
qualifying marks are lower.
Uttar Pradesh's Medical Education Minister, Lalji Verma said that he
would like to comment on this issue only after going through the
documents. On the other hand, Ram Kumar Bhargava, Congress Spokeperson
said that this repeated failure of students should be probed.
Samajwadi Party leader, Ambika Chaudhary is of the view that once
underprivileged sections get an opportunity, they must also be at par
regarding marks, with other students aspiring to become a doctor.
