Trends in score over year of education in GMCs and PMCs (2-way ANOVA). The trends of scores (mean difference, p value) with every subsequent year in GMCs was as follows: from I MBBS to II MBBS, there was a significant increase in score (0.395, p < 0.001); from II MBBS to III MBBS part-1, there was another significant increase in score (0.367, p = 0.009); from III MBBS part-1 to III MBBS part-2 there was a non-significant decrease in score (-0.006, p = 0.968); from MBBS part 2 to internship, there was a significant fall in score (-0.664, p = 0.004). But in the PMCs, the scores of I MBBS were not different when compared to the other years. The trends of scores (mean difference, p value) with every subsequent year in PMCs was as follows: from I MBBS to II MBBS, there was a minor fall in score (-0.072, p = 0.484); from II MBBS to III MBBS part-1, there was a significant increase in score (0.291, p = 0.009); from III MBBS part-1 to III MBBS part-2 there was a non-significant decrease in score (-0.030, p = 0.822); from MBBS part 2 to internship, there was another non-significant fall in score (-0.270, p = 0.139)
