What is VIVA?
All the medical colleges do have viva examination during the practical examinations. Usually Viva is conducted in three different table carrying 5 marks each. Usually one Internal Examiner & two External Examiners are involved in these planned viva voce examinations.
Although exams like VIVA or interview & exams are so much in our professional life we never spent time for practicing or being taught the technique during our medical education in the medical college. It is assumed that we know what we are doing. Of course, just to pass out from a medical college requires a certain amount of exam technique, reading the question, allowing enough time for each answer and so on. That much is common sense. However I have always had the sneaking suspicion that there is something more to exams, secrets to which I am not privy.
To discover these elusive exam skills, who better to ask than an examiner or to be a part of examination pattern. I had few experiences; I also gave lots of viva and will do so in the future however I have witnessed Final MBBS exams and few more Universities exams and observe VIVA closely then ever than my student life.
I have an impression that viva is not that tough. Its becasue we don't do discussion in our study routine thats why we find it difficult. Its all about how you poresent yourself in the VIVA. Look no one is prefect in this world, even examiner don't know everything. They just want to know that whether you have got the right impression or the concept of the subject matter or not. Whether you can differentiate a girl or boy thats it, thats the concept. They don't want to go into the detaol of subject matter.
The viva voce might form part of the validated assessment for a course, assessed by an oral examination. In these situations, the viva voce is a useful tool to assist in authenticating that the student has got the enough knowledge in the subject matter.
There are a variety of other circumstances which might require the use of a viva voce and provision for these is contained in the Academic and Organisational Regulations.
Why we need to have VIVA ?
As there are several legitimate reasons for asking a student to attend a viva voce examination, all of which may have a different impact on the student, students must be advised why they have been called for a viva, to enable them to prepare in an informed way.
Students need to be given as much notice as possible regarding timing and arrangements for the viva voce examination. Where viva voce examination involving External Examiners is standard practice within a Medical College/School, students should be informed of this early on during the course. When publicising/informing students of viva voce examination dates and times, Schools should remind students of their responsibility to attend.
Clearly, there are operational issues in allowing External Examiners the right to viva any student. Arrangements should be clarified as early as possible by the Course/Programme co-ordinator. This should include adequate time to give students advanced warning of when they are required to attend for a viva.
Where the viva voce is being used to determine difficult/borderline cases, students must be reminded that the viva voce can only be used to raise, not lower, the mark/grade.
