Instruction began in 2012.The Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) degree program is divided into three parts by the first, second, and third professional examinations. If a student fail one of these exams, they may sit it again six months later. Under the 2002 "carry on" system, students could continue taking classes in the next academic session while preparing to retake an exam. This system was strongly favoured by medical students, but strongly opposed by their teachers. The Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council eliminated "carry on" in 2013, after which students who failed a professional exam were not allowed to continue classes until they had passed it, causing them to lose up to a year in the process.
