Uttar Pradesh- From next year, MBBS students graduating from the Motilal Nehru Medical College (MLNMC), Prayagraj, will get degrees from Atal Bihari Vajpayee Medical University (ABVMU), Uttar Pradesh.
On this, MLNMC authorities have confirmed that the change will apply to the batch of MBBS students who will graduate in the academic year 2025.
The decision has been taken to ensure a unified system of medical curriculum and examination in Uttar Pradesh as several medical colleges in the state are affiliated to ABVMU.
In this regard, speaking to HT, Dr Vatsala Mishra the Principal of MLNMC said, two years ago, MLNMC was affiliated with ABVMU and along with it the examinations are also conducted by the university. Therefore, from now onwards MBBS students will receive the degree certificates from ABVMU and along with MBBS students, MS and MD students will also get degrees from the new university as per their respective batches.
Till now the students of MLNMC have been receiving their degrees from King George's Medical University (KGMU) since 2008, formerly known as Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Medical University, Lucknow. However, MLNMC was affiliated with Allahabad University.
MLNMC admits 200 MBBS students every year, with 127 seats in 20 disciplines of postgraduate studies and 1 seat in one stream of super-specialisation studies in the medical college. After four annual examinations and an internship, the final degree is awarded by the university.
