NMC grants three-month relaxation for submitting PG degree thesis

Amid the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has declared three-month relaxation to medical students for the submission of the PG degree thesis. Until now, as per the regulations, the students were required to submit their thesis six months prior to the theory and clinical/practical exams.

NMC was receiving several requests from students and medical colleges for relaxation in the submission of the thesis. Consequently, the Postgraduate Medical Education Board (PGMEB) of the NMC decided to allow the postgraduate degree students of 2018-19 and 2019-20 batches to submit their thesis at least three months before the exams.

• NMC issues advisory, asks medical colleges to hold PG broad, SS exams at the earliest
• National Medical Commission to be set up in February
