Medical Education Commission 

Syllabus for Bachelor level Entrance Examination (2020) 

Introduction: 

Health Professional education was started in Nepal formerly after establishment of Institute of  Medicine under Tribhuvan University in 1972 beginning with training of middle level human  resources for health. A bachelor level course in Institute of Medicine was started in 1978 and  postgraduate studies since 1982. Similarly, BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences was  established in eastern Nepal in 1993, Manipal Academy of Health Sciences was established  under Kathmandu University as a Kathmandu University affiliated private institutions in 1993.  Kathmandu University School of Medical Sciences as constituent campus started MBBS  program in 2001. Then National Academy of Medical Sciences was established in 2002 and  Patan Academy of Health Sciences in 2008. 

Since late 90's, over a period of decade, numerous private medical institutions were also  opened in affiliation to various universities. In one hand, the rapid development of medical  institutions helped for fulfilling the gap between need of human resources for health. In the  other hand, there have been issues related to quality in health professional education and also  the process and costs related to the entrance examination and student enrollment. In this  context, National Medical Education Act 2075 has envisioned the common entrance  examination to be conducted by Medical Education Commission for enrollment of students in  various programs and colleges throughout the country. For conducting the Bachelor level common entrance examination, the commission has felt the need to prepare a common syllabus  in consultation with experts from various institutions with experience in bachelor level entrance examination. 

Objectives: 

1. To develop common syllabus of specific academic programs for bachelor level common entrance examination 

2. To generate consensus and match logically between the existing bachelor level entrance  syllabus effective at various medical institutions 

3. To find the scope of improvements/innovations in currently existing bachelor level entrance examination 

Process: 

1. Institutions conducting bachelor level entrance examinations were officially  corresponded to send the ongoing bachelor level programs they are conducting and the  syllabus for entrance examinations. 

2. The syllabus for related disciplines from various institutions were compiled. 

3. Team of experts in the related disciplines representing various institutions worked up  for the common syllabus with the help of available compiled documents. 

4. Workshop was conducted to scrutinize the contents and other aspects on entrance  syllabus involving the experts who developed the syllabus and experienced experts  conducting bachelor level entrance examinations in various institutions and head/chief  of examination divisions in the respective institutions.  

5. Workshop involving all head of institutions and concerned regulatory authority was  conducted to come up with the consensus. 

Syllabus for Bachelor level Common Entrance Examination (2020) Medical Education Commission 

General consensus: 

A common consensus on relevant issues related to syllabus were generated with brainstorming  and regular discussions as per above mentioned process involving all stakeholders related to  training of bachelor level academic programs. 

Experts agreed to develop the syllabus for four groups representing all the bachelor  level programs:  

1. MBBS/BDS/BSc Nursing/BASLP/ B Perfusion Technology 

2. BAMS/BSc MLT/BSc MIT/BPT/BPharm/B Optometry 

3. BPH (Bachelor in Public Health) 

4. BNS (Bachelor in Nursing Science) 

A consensus was generated to have entrance test paper with 200 multiple choice  questions to improve content coverage as well as to match with the recent practice. This  will also help differentiation of the candidates by minimizing the tie in the marks  among the candidates. 

Multiple choice questions (MCQs) will be of Single Best Response Type (Type A) with  four options. 

Adopt Criterion Referenced Test with 50% pass mark with no negative marking.  

A consensus was generated to allow 3 hours with instruction to paper setter that the  stem or vignette of the MCQs should not exceed 60 words. 

All agreed to include 20 MCQs from Mental Agility Test for all the academic  programs. 

For the programs with eligibility also from PCL in Health Sciences, a consensus was  generated to include 20 MCQs related to the specific subject as per the respective PCL  programs. 

Difficulty level of the items should be set from the time of item preparation as: 1. Recall: 30% 

2. Understanding: 50% 

3. Application and above: 20%
