NMC proposes major MBBS rule change, seeks to restore 10-year course completion window for medical students

The National Medical Commission has proposed restoring the maximum duration for completing the MBBS course to 10 years, including the compulsory internship period. The draft amendment to the Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 2023, aims to give students facing academic, health, or personal challenges additional time to finish their medical education while retaining the four-attempt limit for first-year examinations.
