In a significant move aimed at enhancing accountability in medical education, the Health Ministry has instituted a new requirement for postgraduate dentists: a minimum of 80% biometric attendance. Institutions that permit students with attendance below this threshold to sit for exams will be held liable by the National Dental Council (NDC).

This regulation seeks to uphold educational standards and ensure that future dental professionals are adequately trained and committed. The emphasis on biometric attendance reflects a broader effort to maintain discipline and accountability in medical institutions across the country.

As reported by NDTV, this directive underscores the government's commitment to fostering a rigorous educational environment that prioritizes both quality and accountability in healthcare education.
