TRIPLE VALUATION for only those who applied and / or for only papers in which pass mark wasn’t attained is what Bharat Medicos been asking from the beginning .
The present system of TRIPLE VALUATION is leading to the increased percentage of failure and also a drop in over all average mark of the students . It is completely ANTI STUDENT POLICY .
Initially it is projected as an attempt to HELP STUDENTS from UNEXPECTED FAILURES due to some examiners . There are incidents where 10-20 STUDENTS FAILED IN A SERIAL ORDER , which Dr NTR UHS quotes supporting triple valuation . But instead of helping students in such cases or trying to keep a check on such examiners , Dr NTRUHS used such incidents just to support such a MESSY TRIPLE VALUATION . The average FINAL MARK of the student in TRIPLE VALUATION is a big CONFUSION & merely depends on LUCK . Previously students were allowed to CHECK their ANSWER PAPERS & MARKS , but now RE VERIFICATION just been FEE PAYING PROCESS . In addition to that , they brought WEB EVALUATION , where the examiners will have NO CHANCE to add or correct marks at the end . Even examiners are QUITE CONFUSED about this evaluations , even though its been years after implementation .There are high court orders asking the University to rectify and clarify the mistakes in evaluation pattern . At some instances even Re Evaluation of entire papers is ordered. In recent PG Examination , they mentioned that they have done QUADRAPLE EVALUATIONS . No one knows how they equated the final mark !
We questioned Dr NTRUHS on this issue long back and even motivated students in the regard . But we see that the INTENTION is not to HELP STUDENTS , but to HELP PROLONGATION OF MBBS COURSE by 3 MONTHS , by DELAYING RESULTS . It is the time that Dr NTRUHS should simplify things and students should also raise their voice on such policy . Just as few of the high level employees at Dr NTRUHS done some illegal practices in 1st MBBS re evaluation happened In 2007 , which lead to many conspiracies including the mysterious death of one of its exam registrar’s in university building on September 1st 2009 – Dr NTR UHS should not trouble students by complicating things in this manner , to prove that things are perfect over there .
CANCELLATION OF Rs.25,000/Sub FAIL FEE
NO WHERE IN INDIA MBBS FEE is as low as Rs.10,000 in Private colleges as like in Andhra Pradesh & TS . There has to be a RATIONALITY in FIXING THE FEE . Previous Govt has fixing such a low fee for Govt Quota in Private Medical colleges just for the reason , they have to reimburse fee for over 70 % of students .
1) Then WHO WOULD HAVE ASKED FOR Rs.25,000/ Subject FAIL FEE ?
A) Obviously Medical Colleges Association
2) WHY WOULD THEY ASKED FOR ?
A) Obviously as they RUN IN LOSS if they collect such low fee for 50 % students . So , they have to compensate the loss !
3) WHY FAILURE PERCENTAGE INCRAESED IN MANY PRVT MEDICAL COLLEGES RECENTLY ?
MORE DETENTIONS , MORE PRACTICAL FAILURES ?
A) Obviously , we can GUESS THE REASON from the above two answers .
BHARAT MEDICOS DEMANDS Min Rs.50,000 / Yr FEE in Private medical colleges from coming batches & CANCELLATION of Rs.25,000 / Subject FAIL FEE even for Present Batches .
We represented on this to University in 2016 , when this rule was introduced . We tried to motivate students in this regard . But as the FAIL FEE is for NEXT BATCHES – None Responded . We are shell shocked on getting only 102 signatures for the petition filed . Now , many students are messaging Bharat Medicos that they are INTENTIONALLY BEING FAILED IN PRACTICALS . We will certainly make sure that this FAIL FEE is SCRAPPED OFF . But you should also understand that a PRIVATE MEDICAL COLLEGE can’t MAKE PROFITS to their INVESTMENT if they have to GIVE HEAVY SUBSIDY to 50 % of its STUDENTS . So , we should accept FEE HIKE .
3 Mon ( Unpaid )MATERNITY LEAVE FOR PG's
When we met Mrs Poonam Malakondaih after forming 1st AP JUDA SR FORUM – We had asked her 3 months ( un paid) maternity leave for SR’s . I am shell shocked at her response that DOCTORS should not come with such EXCUSES . I haven’t expected such response from such successful woman , who is herself mother of a PG Medico . It’s a SHAME upon every HUMAN , particularly if they are WOMEN if they come up with such STUIPIDITY . MATERNITY is considered a BLEASSING even for GODESSES , we are just social animals – Why should medicos loose their RIGHT TO HAVE KIDS AT A RIGHT AGE ? Why ?
If you can’t see a MOTHER in a Pregnant lady – consider yourself a PERVERT ! I don’t mind to say that there are many PROFESSORS , PRINCIPALS who are such PERVERTS . There are many , who hint their PG’s not to get pregnant during the course and some even ask them to get ABORTED . Yes , there are as such unhuman faculty . Surprisingly most of them are women ! We can even find such among our colleagues . we can understand WORK BURDEN in many post graduate departments . Being together and asking for Non Academic Junior residents will be a solution rather than troubling ourselves .
Some may come with argument that – Why should male PG’s overwork and give relaxation for their Pregnant colleagues ? - That minimum respect for women & courtesy , can also be thought in a medical college . Why should PG’s do work of SR’s , AP’s , Associates & Professors ? Aren’t they doing it in majority of departments ? Please do not say that they will loose an OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN because of pregnancy – If one have that CONCERN for them , they will be wise enough and cultured enough also to respect & support a pregnant woman . If someone can’t show concern for a pregnant colleague – he can never be a good son , good brother , good husband and good father .
Doctors should first be good human beings , we cant be asked to be so disconnected , so self centric , so practical in our medical colleges . I feel that HUMANITY should be part of the CIRCULUM . Medical Schools should safeguard some basic human instincts in its students .
When Govt employees can avail 9 months of PAID Maternity leave for 2 pregnancies , Why can’t a Post Graduate woman be allowed for 3 months unpaid maternity leave , for 1 pregnancy ?

ACTIVE WOMEN GREIVANCE CELLS in Medical Colleges
Even as per union law , every establishment should have a COMMITTEE to monitor Work Place Related Harassments for women employees . Is it every thing OK in Medical Colleges ? Nooh ! Probably not . We have recently seen an incident of Dr Shilpa’s suicide at SMC , Tirupati . It is not like the faculty there asked for some sexual favour as we have seen in news – But the main accused is notorious in using fowl language and passing bad language on students . She approached Principal , but hasn’t got proper assurance . She dared to come out and complain which pushed her into further embarrassment , ultimately leading to depression and suicide . After looking at her fate – No Other Female PG or Faculty facing such problems at SVMC many not come out in near future .
It is a Govt Medical college and the blame would be gone on Govt – But imagine , if there are such incidents in a Private Medical College ? It crushes away the reputation built over decades in a single day .
There are such MEN every where and there can’t be an exception . So , why can’t the Medical Colleges form a WOMEN GREIVANCE CELL with an assurance of strict action and secrecy ?
RECOGNISION OF PG SEATS IN AP GOVT MEDICAL COLLEGES
Do you believe that , some government medical colleges in Andhra Pradesh are running PG seats over decades with just permission letter and no MCI recognition . APMC is not registering them and all such are being shown as tutors for MCI inspections even after 15 years of passing MD . Those who are having their own practices are not bothering , as even an illiterate or engineering graduate can get a name plate written as specialist and practice medicine in AP. But those who are working in hospital and medical colleges are suffering without promotions and low pay scales .
Bharat Medicos stressed upon the importance of this issue , when AP JUDA called up for a strike recently. But that didn’t attract attention as this is not problem for everyone and not there in every college . But we are committed in taking this issue to the new govt and making them form a action plan to do all that required to get the long pending recognitions .
MIN SALERY FOR MBBS - Upward Effect on Pay for Specialists
This may look strange , but it is pathetic that MBBS graduates are working in AP from a starting pay of Rs.25000/Mon . Even on additional years of experience post MBBS , there aren’t getting any justifiable hike in pay as hospitals in AP just wanted ‘Doctors’ to ‘Show’ and not for ‘Quality’ .
We initially thought that getting QUACKS / AYUSH Dr’s out of our hospital can help in making MBBS doctors get a reasonable pay . We even worked in this issue .
1) Complaint letters sent to 13 district collectors . handed over personally in 2 districts , where DMHO raided few hospitals in West Godavari & Note passed in Krishna Dist . Just after that incident , for few months , they are pay Rs.10,000 – Rs.20,000 additionally to get MBBS doctors . But we failed in doing in all districts and even following up at where action been initiated.
2) A TOP MOST DOCTOR was questioned in IMA meet on this issue and he promised to rectify things and replace those AYUSH Dr’s in hospital administration .
3) We atleast succeeded in making Corporate Hospital getting rid of QUACKS .
4) Letters sent to Medical Superintendents of all Medical Colleges in AP asking them to NOT ALLOW THEIR INTERNS to work as duty doctors . Yes , Bharat Medicos don’t bother to take a stand even against the WRONG DOINGS of medicos , for broader interests .
PG NEET EXAM in Feb- Mar
We have already represented this issue to NAT BOARD .
When PG Course starts from MAY-JUNE , Why should the entrance exam be conducted in NOV – DEC ?
What should PG Aspirants do after finishing their NEET Exam and between counselling ?
ANDHRA PRADESH MBBS STUDENTS FINISHES THEIR COURSE BY MARCH END . They will get all the required certificates and registrations by MID APRIL , even if they don’t have any extension . They are hardly having only 7 MONTHS to prepare for PG Entrance due to this , even though they feel like spending 1 year on preparation .
IN MANY OTHER STATES – MBBS COURSE finishes by DECEMBERS . They will have a Motive to prepare for NEET SS even during their internship as they are having some 10 months duration for exam . But many of AP Medicos are not even attempting NEET SS during their internship . As Internship too gets finished by Decembers , they are having an advantage over the students of states like AP . So , AP students should request to Conduct NEET SS Exam in FEB or MARCH and not in NOV – DEC . Bharat medicos will try to educate and motivate MBBS students here in this regard .
NEET SS Exam Pattern on 100% Choice Subject ( AIIMS Pattern)
After NEET SS conduction been given to NAT BORAD , they have come up with a quite confusing exam pattern for the first year . But from the last 2 years – they came up with further LUCK BASED Examination with 40 % marks in ELIGIBLE COURSES & 60 % marks in CHOICE SUPER SPECIALITY .
Example : MS OBGY , MS ORTHO , MS ENT & MS Gen Surg are eligible for Mch Surgical Oncology – So 40 % marks will be from the 4 ELIGIBLE SPECIALITIES . Anyways , one can’t be perfect with all these 4 subjects and mostly depends on LUCK .They aren’t even giving questions from those branches EQUALLY , so making LUCK FACTOR further more strong . If more questions are asked in OBGY – we may see more OBGY Mch Oncologists that year . If more questions are from Orthopedics – More Ortho – Surgical Oncologists .
So , we represented to conduct exam based on JUST SUPER SPECIALITY OF CHOICE as like in AIIMS , PGI . JIPMER entrances . NAT Board responded positively and If there are large scale representations , they would surely change the pattern .
QUACK FREE HOSPITALS : 1-2 fold increase in Pay for MBBS
If AYUSH Dr’s, Non Recognized Foreign Medical Graduates , Interns STOPS working in Our Hospitals , Pay for MBBS will reach around Rs.50,000/Mon from the present 25-30K . If yet State Govt keeps a check on the availability of resident doctors in the hospitals , it will even cross Rs.60,000 as like in many north Indian states .
We have marched against RMP’s , but we aren’t bothered about presence of QUACKS in our hospitals . I asked INTERNS marching / doing protests on RMP’s – to set an example by taking a resolution in their class – NOT TO WORK IN OUTSIDE HOSPITALS during INTERNSHIP . Even IMA which motivated medical students on RMP issue is dumb when asked to pass a NOTE to its colleagues not to allow RMP’s enter their premises and get only qualified people as technicians and nurses , as only such people are going out and strting practice as RMP’s . Qualified people are working in one or other hospital at low pay scales due to the greed of hospital and nursing homes .
All these CHEAP PRACTICES are not just badly impacting HEALTH CARE OF AP , but also having NEGATIVE AFTER EFFECT on their establishments and also on the Health care professionals.
Bharat Medicos is committed to CLEANSE HEALTH CARE SECTOR OF AP . We request the general public and all levels of health care professionals to join us .
DUTY OFF’s for PG’s & DEMAND TO EMPLOY NON ACADAMIC JR’s IN GOVT Colleges
There is clear supreme court judgement mentioning that even though Resident doctors are supposed to be available in the campus for 24hours – It won’t mean that they should be working for 24 hrs a day . Calculating 8 Working hours / Day with 1 day off / week – Hon’b Supreme Court mentioned that Junior Residents need to work for 48 Hours / Week . Even High court of Haryana endorsed supreme court judgement and passed instructions to state government in this regard .
Getting Non Acadamic JR’s equal to the annual PG intake or 1 NA JR / UNIT will help PG Junior Residents to focus on their academics rather than being stressed & over burdened with routine non productive chaos . This will also provide employment to many MBBS Graduates .
MENTAL HEALTH , SUPPORT & MOTIVATION , SUICIDE PREVENTION CELLS
Almost in every private medical college ( except new ones ) in AP, would have 1 or few of its students committed suicide . SUICIDE IS 7th MOST COMMON CAUSE OF DEATH IN INDIA . In Youth , it will be in Top 5 cause for sure . Very few commit suicide out of anger , very spontaneously . Most of those ending life by themselves , goes through a phase of depression . In the so called advance modern world – We are missing some genuine emotional connect with people around us .
We may not change every thing , but should at least try to identify such students in depression . Bharat Medicos requests every medical college to come up with such initiatives .
Asst Prof ELIGIBILITY FOR PG Diploma's
MCI passed a gazette on June 5th 2017 , mentioning that Post Graduate Diploma Graduates are allowed only upto the designation of Seniour Resident . It has not even given a CLARITY about them continuing in the same designation through out their career , as it defined SR as someone who is not above 40 years age . Even though it clarified in the FAQ’s that SR’s who are appointed before the issue of gazette can continue as SR’s even after 40 years – many medical colleges are releaving diploma’s who crossed 40 years .
Bharat Medicos will make sure that Post Graduate Diplmoa graduates are allowed upto the rank of Asst Professor , without any discrimination . We will also try to get them upto associate professor cadre with over 10 research publications as criteria . Yes , when Medical Msc faculty are allowed upto Professor cadre with Phd , why should MBBS doctors be discriminated . Bharat Medicos hasn’t been in favour of argument that Medical Msc faculty should not be given promotions , we said that wont take part in that with due respect on our medical Msc Teachers .
