UP Medical College Shocker: Student Stuck in MBBS First Year for 11 Years!

• A student at BRD Medical College, Gorakhpur, UP, has been in MBBS first year for 11 years since admission in 2013-14, while classmates are now doctors.
• This unprecedented delay raises serious questions about the medical education system and the student's academic progress.
• The National Medical Commission (NMC) rules mandate a maximum of 4 attempts for the first year and degree completion within 10 years, both exceeded by the student.
• College administration faces a dilemma: apply old rules or new strict NMC regulations, and has informed university and medical councils.
• The case highlights concerns about academic credibility, the need for reforms in medical education, and student mental health.

Why It Matters: An 11-year MBBS first-year delay at a UP college exposes systemic flaws and NMC rule challenges.
