NMC has advised govt medical colleges to support NBEMS postgraduate practical exams amid shortage of centres, infrastructure and examiners. Institutions must provide clinical facilities, infrastructure and relieve faculty for examiner duties. NBEMS compensates centres and pays examiners. NMC seeks cooperation for smooth, timely conduct and maintaining exam standards.
New Delhi: The NMC has issued an advisory to government medical colleges and institutions, asking them to extend full cooperation for the smooth conduct of postgraduate and postdoctoral examinations conducted by the NBEMS, citing shortage of examination centres and examiners.
In a public notice issued by the Postgraduate Medical Education Board (PGMEB) on May 8, the National Medical Commission (NMC) said the increasing number of candidates appearing in NBEMS final practical examinations has led to a corresponding rise in the requirement for "adequate examination centres, clinical material, infrastructure, and experienced examiners".
The Commission noted that the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has been facing difficulties due to the "non-availability of examination centres and non-relieving of eligible faculty members for examiner duties in certain instances".
"In this regard, all Government Medical Colleges/institutions under the ambit of the National Medical Commission are advised to extend necessary cooperation and support to NBEMS for conduct of its practical examinations," the notice said.
