CBME Guidelines 2023: As per the latest updates, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has withdrawn its decision to drop passing marks for MBBS subjects having two papers to 40%. The commission released a notice and said that the amendment to Curriculum Based Medical Education (CBME) guidelines is “not possible”. NMC had notified the amendment in CBME guidelines in September. The regulations include new rules on the MBBS curriculum, admission process, academic calendar etc.
