Medical Education Commission Leadership Vacancy Halts Academic Schedule, Affects 60,000 Students

KATHMANDU. The appointment of directors and members in the directorates and boards of the Medical Education Commission has not happened, affecting the commission's academic schedule. The absence of leadership in the commission has stalled the overall academic and policy decision-making process.

With the commission lacking directors and members, there is no certainty when the integrated entrance examinations for various undergraduate programs including MBBS, BDS, and nursing will be conducted. On Tuesday, during a meeting of the House of Representatives, MP Ramesh Malla stated that although approximately 60,000 students have been preparing for the entrance examination for the past month, even the application-related notice has not been issued.
