The NMC had passed the decision to reduce the MBBS passing score cut-off to 40% earlier. However, in a recent announcement, this decision has been pulled back. This reversal may contribute towards quality education and foster a competitive nature among students. Be that as may, the reversal also projects a lack of forethought and thorough consideration of the subject matter.

Is the reversal of the decision a correct call? Will it be welcomed by students? How do you think it will affect medical education in India in the long run?
