of education achieved by NMC
so far is mainly due to the
competencies of its faculty
members.

available for students. However,
while taking students to different
hospitals or health institutions
for clinical/community placements
or for forensic medicine practicals,
NMC shall organise transport
for NMC students.

Daily Time Table

days with Saturday as rest
day. Daily academic activity
starts at 0900 hrs and extends
to 1600 hours with one hour
lunch break in between.
The medical profession fails
to recognise day and night
when it comes to taking a
prompt decision in relation
to health care. Medical students
are encouraged to inculcate
such a habit of working even
at odd hours from their student
life so as to develop a habit
of working during odd hours
in future as medical professionals.

of medical student, participation
in the extra-curricular activities
by the student is encouraged.

the horizon of thinking process
that provides opportunities
for building own talents and
skills.

gets admitted in the first
year have to undergo thorough
health check up after admission

care facilities free of cost
to all NMC students while

Vacation
Even though vacations are
desired, they fall rather
short for medical students
during the MBBS programme.
Medical curriculum is the
longest of all the curricula.
In the life of a medical student,
each day encounters a new
experience. Nepalese festivities
and seasonal weather, making
an impact on the activities
of daily life in Kathmandu,
have been considered while
making arrangements for vacations.

Pachhas” (Winter Vacation)
in January and “Garmi
Bida” (Summer Vacation)
in July are made available
for students during first

and duration of vacations
during the rest of the two
and half years period in clinical
years vary according to the
clinical teaching/learning
activities and hospital placement
schedules. Students cannot
take leave and remain absent
from their teaching / learning
activities when the academic
session is going on.
They must fulfill 75% of
attendance required for appearing
in the University Examinations,
without which one cannot be
