The National Medical Commission on Monday granted MBBS students who were admitted to medical colleges during the academic year 2020-21 but were unable to pass their first professional examination due to the COVID-19 pandemic one further chance.

According to a notification posted on their official website, this "mercy attempt" would be a one-time occurrence and would not be considered a precedent in the future.

"The National Medical Commission decided to allow one additional attempt (FIFTH attempt) to such MBBS students who were admitted in medical colleges during the academic year 2020-21 and could not pass their first professional MBBS examination as this batch was also affected by COVID 19 pandemics," the National Medical Commission (NMC) stated in a public notice.
