CMC students demand immediate exams
Our Correspondent, Chittagong
Over hundred MBBS students of 45th and 47th batches of Chittagong Medical College (CMC) brought out a silent procession on the campus yesterday demanding the authorities should hold the supplement examinations, previously scheduled to begin on July 1, immediately. Later, the students held a press conference at CMC canteen where they said that around 118 students, who failed in the first and second professional examinations in last January, had options to make amends in the supplement examinations scheduled to start on July 1. But Chittagong University (CU), authority of different medical colleges in the region, postponed the examinations due to a case filed by a private medical college in this connection, they added. Earlier, the CU authorities refused to take exams of BGC Trust Medical College on charges of having inadequate accommodation system and structural imbalance. BGC Trust authorities filed a case with the High Court against the CU decision in June this year prompting the CU authorities to postpone all the first and second professional examinations scheduled to start on July 1 until the case is solved. Around 200 examinees of first and second professional examinations of different government and private medical colleges under Chittagong University now run the risk of losing a year from their academic career, the students said. Acting Principal of CMC Prof Dr Nilkanta Bhattacharjee, however, said the authorities can only wait for the verdict at this moment.
