MBBS Student Denied 5th Attempt at Exam by Karnataka High Court

A single-judge bench of Justice R. Devadas dismissed the petition, stating, “The petitioner has only biochemistry remaining to clear. As per the regulations of the university and the National Medical Commission, a student is allowed only four attempts to pass a subject. The law is clear in this regard, and no court can issue orders contrary to university rules.”

Ambedkar Medical College, who sought permission to appear for a fifth attempt at a biochemistry exam after failing it four times.

The petitioner’s counsel, Chandrakanth Goule, argued, “The petitioner has failed the first-year MBBS biochemistry exam four times but has passed all other subjects. On compassionate grounds, the court should direct the university to allow her to appear for the upcoming biochemistry exam for a fifth time.” However, the court upheld the regulations and dismissed the plea, emphasizing that no exceptions could be made beyond the stipulated four attempts.
