MBBS Admission: The National Medical Commission (NMC) has revised the passing marks to 40 percent for MBBS subjects consisting of two papers. The commission has made modifications to the Competency Based Medical Education (CBME) curriculum guidelines related to passing marks in university-conducted examinations. Now, as per the revised guidelines, “In subjects that have two papers, the learner must secure minimum 40 per cent of marks in aggregate (both papers together) to pass in said subject.”
The board released this notification on September 1, 2023, following the initial release of the CBME guidelines in August. These regulations encompass a wide range of aspects, including curriculum, MBBS admission procedures, and the academic calendar.
