Medical colleges, clinical postings and mandatory attendance

For medical colleges, CampusHub handles NMC-pattern programmes with professional years rather than semesters, clinical posting rotations across departments, the strict attendance requirements that govern examination eligibility, hostel occupancy for resident students, and internal assessment across theory and practical components.

Regulatory requirements for medical education are set by the National Medical Commission and change. Configure against the current regulations rather than a general template.

Medical education breaks most assumptions built into higher-education software. The year is professional rather than semestral, students rotate through clinical postings on their own schedules, and attendance is not an internal policy but a condition of sitting the examination.

01

Attendance is not a policy here

In most higher education, an attendance shortfall triggers a warning and occasionally a condonation. In medical education it can prevent a student sitting a professional examination, which delays them by a year.

That makes early visibility not a nicety but a duty of care. Attendance has to be recorded per posting and per theory session, tracked against the requirement continuously, and shown to the student while the shortfall is still recoverable rather than after it is not.

02

Clinical postings as a scheduling problem

A batch rotates through departments in groups, each with capacity limits, each rotation of a defined duration, with the whole batch needing to complete every posting before the professional examination.

It is a constraint problem rather than a timetable, and it changes when a department is short-staffed or a student misses a rotation and has to repeat it out of sequence. Recorded per student rather than per batch is what makes the exception tractable.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Phrased the way they arrive, answered so each one stands on its own.

Does it follow the NMC pattern?

It is configured to professional years, clinical postings and the theory-plus-practical assessment structure. Regulations change, so configure against the current NMC requirements rather than assuming a template is current.

How are clinical postings tracked?

Per student, per rotation, with dates and department, so a student who misses a posting and repeats it out of sequence is tracked correctly rather than being marked complete because their batch was.

Can it flag students at risk of attendance ineligibility?

Yes, continuously against the requirement rather than at the cut-off. Given that ineligibility can cost a student a year, early visibility is the point.
