PANJIM: An MBBS student appearing for the post-graduate admission entrance will be liable to deduction of five percent marks for failing to clear any subject or not appearing for the examination.
The fresh rules state that order of merit for admission to PG degree/diploma seats will be determined by combination of aggregate marks secured in MBBS examination conducted by the university and also the All India Post-Graduate Medical Entrance Examination (AIPGMEE) merit score.
The order of the merit will be held in two manners wherein 50 percent weightage shall be allocated to aggregate marks secured in MBBS examination, and the balance 50 percent weightage would be towards the marks scored at the AIPGMEE examination.
“The 50 percent weightage of aggregate marks shall be arrived at by totaling the marks obtained in all subjects of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd MBBS examinations and by reducing it to a percentage after the following deductions, namely: five percent of marks shall be deducted for every failure from the marks of the subject in which failed, and five percent deduction in which the student has taken a drop,” the notification says.
The amendment explains that a drop shall be considered each time a student does not appear for GU examination.
“However, if a student was detained or had taken a drop, on account of late allocation of MBBS seat at the time of joining first MBBS course or on a valid sickness ground supported by appropriate documentary evidence to the satisfaction of the Dean prior to the said GU examination, it shall not be considered as a drop in the subject/examination,” it further states.
