New Delhi: The All India Institute of Medical Sciences here has constituted a committee of faculty members to suggest reforms in the pattern of teaching, training and evaluation of final year MBBS students.
According to a notification issued by the institute on Wednesday, it has been found that attendance of students in lecture classes is poor and they are more interested in coaching classes meant for the preparation of entrance examination for post graduation.
