ABSTRACT
A retrospective study of 4 consecutive academic batches of students was conducted to analyse the performance level of students in 3 university examinations of MBBS. The students were divided into 3 categories based on the criteria of entrance into the medical college. The category I included students who entered through a tough pre-medical test, category II comprised those nominated by government and defence personnel and category III included the Schedule Caste and Schedule Tribe students. The results of the category I was remarkably better than that of II while that of category III was dismal. The last two categories had a large number of students leaving the college without completing their course resulting in 5.4% wastage of precious medical seats and psychological distress. Necessary remedial measures must be planned at the earliest.
