ABSTRACT

Recent results of MBBS part A and B annual exam of 2012 conducted by University of Karachi are unsatisfactory. In the overall assessment only 49.5%(79% for KMDC) and 54%(60% for KMDC) of students were declared successful in part A and B examinations respectively. Out of 101 total KMDC students who appeared in MBBS part A, 2012 annual examination, 22 were failed. Of the 22 students who failed, 10(45%) were on self-finance whereas 12(55%) were selected on open merit. The breakup of 22 students who failed showed that 14 failed in practical, 2 in theory and 6 in both the components. The subject wise breakup of the candidates who failed showed that in Anatomy 4 were failed in theory and 14 in practical. In Physiology 6 failed in theory and 11 in viva. In Biochemistry 2 failed in theory, 8 in viva and one student failed in Islamic studies. This results reflects a higher proportion of failures in viva/practical as compared to theory exam......
