Delay in publishing MBBS results worries examinees

Mahbuba Zannat
Even after three and half months of completing the MBBS final professional examinations, Dhaka University (DU) is yet to publish the results, causing frustration among the examinees and also hindering adequate services to die patients at different hospitals.
Some 2,750 students of 27 medical colleges under DU appeared at the MBBS final exams in July this year that ended in September.
Though it is regulated to publish any exam result as early as possible, itisyettobecomeout.
"Due to delay in tabulation by the tabulators (five professors of DU and five professors of medical colleges), the process of publishing the results
has been slowed," said Dean of Medicine Faculty of DU Prof ANMZiaur Rahman.
"We should have completed the process by middle of November, but we failed to do that," he said, adding that the exam committee, nowever, submitted the results to the pro-vice chancellor on November 26 after completing all the procedures and now it is the duty of the university authorities to publish the results formally.
1 Ie further said that due to this delay, services at different medical college hospitals have been hampered as the students who would pass the final exams are supposed to start working at different medical college hospitals as intern doctors for a year within a week of publish-
ing the results.
“But as the publication of the results is delayed, they could not start working," he said, adding: “By this time, the previous interns have left the hospitals around two weeks agooack. So, the patients at different wards are suffering for lack of doctors as the hospitals are mostly dependent on intern doctors."
The situation at the Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) and Mitford Hospital is worse as these hospitals are more dependent on intern doctors, especially at night when almost all the specialist doctors remain busy with the private practice in chambers.
Besides, the students are also frustrated for not getting their results because the next
batch will sit for their final exams in January 2010. The students who would fail in the exams would not be able to get preparation properly as they won't get enough time.
Preferring anonymity, an examinee of Dhaka Medical College said it was unexpected that the results were not published in four months.
"Students who will fail in the exams will have only a few days to take preparation for taking part in the improvement examinations as the exams at medical colleges are scheduled to be started in January," he added.
He also said that they are now out of taking part In the FCPS part one examinations in January 2011 as they would not be able to take their admissions to the course this year due to
delay of publishing the results.
Badhan, another examinee, said: "We cannot start our internship as the results are yet to be published and will already miss FCPS exams of 2011."
The students demanded immediate publication of the results, saying that they would have to face a lot of academic troubles ahead.
They said the results of other medical colleges under Rajshahi University and Chittagong University have already been published. The exams at the medical colleges under this two universities started on due time.
Controller of Examinations of DU Bahai ul Haq Chowdhury said there was no laxity at any stage of the process and the results would be published in a week.
