BRD Medical College: 1998 Batch MBBS Student Gets Result After HC Order, Fails Again
In what might be the longest-running academic saga in Indian medical education, three students at BRD Medical College, Gorakhpur, are still trying to pass their final exams after spending up to two decades in the MBBS program.
The most extreme case is a student from the 1998 batch, who has been attempting to clear his final year for the last 28 years. Two other students, from the 2009 and 2010 batches, are stuck in the exact same academic limbo.
The NMC vs. MCI Regulatory Clash
The situation escalated recently when the university simply stopped releasing their exam results altogether. The roadblock? The National Medical Commission (NMC). Under the new NMC guidelines, a student must complete their entire MBBS course within a strict maximum limit of 10 years, or their registration is permanently canceled.
However, these three students enrolled under the older Medical Council of India (MCI) rules, which did not enforce a strict timeline. Caught in this regulatory transition, the university withheld their final results.

The High Court Intervention and The Plot Twist
Refusing to give up, one of the affected students filed an appeal in the High Court, demanding the university declare his pending result.
Following direct intervention from the court, the university finally released the long-awaited scorecard this week. However, in a heartbreaking twist, the 1998-batch student failed in two subjects once again. He will now be allowed to sit for supplementary examinations for yet another attempt.
BRD Medical College Principal Dr. Ramkumar Jaiswal stated that the college administration is now actively corresponding with the university, citing the court’s order, to officially release the results for the remaining 2009 and 2010 batch students as well.
