The pilot phase studies are initiated for 12/2018 academic year so as to enhance the likelihood of success of the main study and potentially help to avoid doomed main studies.

In 2019, outcome-based integrated curriculum has been implemented to be able to communicate well in future clinical settings. In accordance with new curriculum, English is taught as a subject (Language II) in Semester I (duration of six months) in the foundation year. The allotted hour is to be reduced to 120 in accordance with the integrated curriculum.
