Indore: In a major respite to students of all nursing courses, except final year, it has been decided by the Madhya Pradesh Medical Science University (MPMSU) in Jabalpur to give promotion to the students of session 2019-20 on the basis of internal assessment.
In this regard, the University has directed all the nursing colleges to send details of internal assessments of the students of all nursing courses, except final year, so that they can be promoted for the next session.
The students of session 2019-20 would be getting promoted on the basis of their internal marks. The decision was originally taken last year considering the Covid-19 situation, however, neither were the orders implemented nor were any exams conducted to promote the students.
The pandemic and the lockdown led to non-functioning of classes which affected an entire academic session.
