Students had complains that MBBS course duration is already very long compared to other fields which have either 3 or 4 years graduation course. So students were worried that a 7 1\/22 years MBBS plus a 3 years of MD\/MS courses along with 1-3 years of post PG government service will put total duration to at least 11 1\/2 and even 13 1\/2 in some states.<\/p>\n<p>Students from medical institutes across India were on strike since yesterday and wanted written assurance from the officials.
