T’puram: First year MBBS students, in a letter, have asked Chancellor and Chancellor Chancellor of the University of Health (KUH) to postpone the final examination of the first year scheduled to begin in February 2.
Wake more students are infected with Covid-19 and Many college hostels are clusters.
“Data was collected on January 23 summing up to a total of 161 positive students throughout the state and five active clusters in college.
More than that, many are symptoms and exist in quarantine,” said the letter.
Physical and mental pressure pandemic and effect after post-covid has placed students’ efficacy for the test at the point of attention.
This makes a student in a constant health and academic dilemma.
Such increased numbers have caused a state of panic in the institution that made risky preparations, said a student of the Thiruvananthapuram medical college.
The writing test in the PPE kit is very difficult, and it is more difficult when someone has a problem breathing.
The test is for three hours and we have to write six papers.
We are not mentally and physically ready to appear for facial tests and failures.
If so, students from self-financing colleges will be the most financially affected, other students said.
Students accuse that many students are under quarantine and cannot prepare for the exam.
In other countries, they have postponed the first year’s exam because of the rapid spread and several universities in Kerala have also postponed their exams.
Students have also approached CM and the Minister of Health with the same request.
