We strongly reject the new decision of PMC regarding Special Delayed MDCAT for Covid positive students,thats completely illogical.
Moreover it would add transparency concerns & NMDCAT will be more controversial.
If PMC is delaying,then delay would be for all.#DelayMDCAT2020#DWM pic.twitter.com/QXQ6iy1zM4— Doctors Wake-Up Movement🚩 (@DWMOfficial) November 25, 2020
Another said that some students will experience a common cold because of the cold, which makes COVID-19 more likely to spread. Therefore, he demanded the authorities to suspend the examinations.
Although the government has announced that entrance tests will be mandatory, it has called for precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the virus.
