And the interesting point...

Now, here is a bit of revealing statistics
What if the performance in the theory paper alone was considered for determining the eligibilty of a candidate for promotion? In other words if Internal assessment was not considered...

No. of students who have scored 50% and above in the theory examination (papers alone):

Anatomy: 81/97 (83.50%)
Physiology: 71/97 (73.20)
Biochemistry: 60/97 (61.86%)
All three subjects: 54/97 (55.70%)

A closer look at the results...

Heres a summary of the I MBBS RGUHS results

Results declared so far - 97/99 (two withheld)
No. of candidates who cleared Anatomy: 83/97 (85.57%)
No. of candidates who cleared Physiology: 86/97 (88.66)
No. of candidates who cleared Biochemistry: 77/97 (79.38%)
Pass in all three subjects: 77/97 (79.38%)

Take a look at the average scores for the class (all marks in %)

Congratulations!

Hearty congratulations to all of you who have been successful in the examinations. Those of you who didn't needn't lose heart - its but a minor hiccup. Stay positive. Look upon it as a oppurtunity to get a better grip on you basics. there have been so many in the past who have gone on to do great things after an initial failure - so march on...

Lost classes

We have lost so many classes this week... Its unlikely that muscle physiology will be completed in time for the Internal assessment test. Wait for the official word though... remmeber theres nothing official about this blog! Hopefully we'll get a couple of classes next week so that we can atleast finish nerve physiology.
