King George's Medical University to expel 37 MBBS students

King George's Medical University has decided to expel as many as 37 MBBS students who could not clear their MBBS course in two decades despite being provided several opportunities.

King George's Medical University has decided to give the last chance to 37 MBBS students to clear the examinations and get their degrees else the university will show them the doors. These MBBS students were admitted to the MBBS course 20 years back and despite several opportunities and concessions, they are still to complete their course.

The University established a committee on request of these 37 MBBS students to consider running special classes for them, also they were provided counselling but despite all this, these students could not clear the exams.

''Many of these students were married and had school-going children. We did everything legally possible for them to help them pass their exams but our efforts did not yield any positive results," said a KGNU official, as reported by Deccan Herald.

KGMU vice-chancellor Dr Vipin Puri said, "We will give them one last chance to clear the exams. Those who fail will be shown the door."
