The Medical Council of India has declared that students who join different medical colleges will not have to attend any lectures for the first 30 days. This time can be used by them to know the campus better.
According to the guidelines by the Medical Council of India, from this year students who join different medical colleges will be given a period of 30 days to get along with the campus and the atmosphere. This has been introduced in order to lessen down the stress level of the students. No lectures will be conducted for the students of BDS and MBBS, they can just roam around and know their campus, faculty and seniors better in this span of one month.
In this period the students will be taught how to maintain their mental balance under immense pressure. This can be considered to be a vital step as many a time it has been seen that students lose their cool under both academic and work pressure. According to the decision, students will also be imparted knowledge on how to attend the lectures effectively. They will also be taught easy ways to understand the lectures delivered by the faculty members. The officials of several medical colleges said that this process of amalgamation before the students embark on their journey of being doctors will lessen down the chances of ragging.
Professor AA Mahdi, Vice Chancellor of Era University said that when someone shifts to a new house, he/she always makes an effort to explore the neighbourhood and tries to know how the locality is connected to the roads and parks. Similarly, these 30 days will give the medical students a scope to explore their campus and atmosphere better which they would have in the later phases.
