'CGPA' in medical exam scrapped amid students' demand

The newly launched 'CGPA' system in medical college examinations has been scrapped and the previous 'carry on' method reinstated amid the students' demand.

Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council has taken the decision, BMDC Deputy Registrar Dr Md Liakat Hossain said in a meeting arranged at the council on Tuesday.

He said, "Previous 'carry on' system in medical college exams will remain reinstated and the 'CGPA' system has been canceled. We have accepted the students' demand."

BMDC recently took a decision to introduce the grading system CGPA in medical college tests, scrapping the 'carry on' method.

But the students demonstrated, seeking reinstatement of the 'carry on' system.
