Banaras Hindu University cancelled MD/MS Ayurveda Entrance Exam

Varanasi, Jun 26 (PTI): The entrance examination to MD/MS (Ayurveda) being conducted by the Institute of Medical Sciences (IMS), Banaras Hindu University, was cancelled today.

The all-India exam was cancelled after a committee found mistakes in the printed papers, IMS director Prof Rana Gopal Singh said.
