MBBS Admission: The National Medical Commission (NMC) has revised the pass marks to 40 percent for MBBS subjects consisting of two papers. The commission has made changes in the curriculum guidelines for competency-based medical education (CBME) related to passing marks in examinations conducted by universities. Now, according to the revised guidelines, “in subjects having two papers, a student must secure at least 40 percent of the total marks (both papers combined) to pass the said subject.”

The Board published this notice on September 1, 2023, following the initial release of CBME guidelines in August. These regulations cover a wide range of aspects, including the curriculum, MBBS admission procedures and the academic calendar.
