Mumbai, Nov. 9 -- Over 239 students across 12 medical colleges in the state have had their first-semester results, scheduled for declaration on November 6, withheld. The group includes 90 students from MIMSR Medical College and Research Center, Latur; 40 from Terna Medical College; 24 from GMC, Nanded; 20 from KJ Somaiya Medical College; and six from HBT Medical College. "This is the number of students who complained to us. The actual number could be higher," says Aditya Dhage, president, Maharashtra Medical Students Association. "The result portal simply mentions 'withheld' in the section for pass or fail without giving any reason." He added that they connected with Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS) officials who assured them of action after the Diwali break. A student from Government Medical College, Dharashiv, said, "I received 99 marks in the internals, one mark short of 100 - the eligibility criteria for appearing for first-semester exams. Teachers assured us they would provide the grace mark. I fear that they may have sent the old score without the grace mark. If the correction is not sent, I may have to appear for the supplementary exams." Another student, studying at Dr Rajendra Gode Medical College, Amravati, said that he had been tense since his results mentioned the word "withheld". MUHS' PRO, Dr Swapnil Torne, said that results are withheld due to incomplete documentation of students or non-submission of internal marks by colleges. Once colleges update the details, MUHS releases the results. "Even if we do not receive certain documents, we allow students to give exams so that they do not lose a year. But, they must complete the required documentation, which must then be submitted to us by the institutions for the results to be released," Torne said....
