`MBBS Classes Should Begin On August 1'
The Medical council of India
(MCI) turned down the request of chief mini ster V Narayana samy to
postpone the first round of counselling to fill up MBBS seats under
management quota in three private me
ment quota in three private medical colleges and hospitals in the Union
territory of Puducherry beyond the July 24 deadline.
MCI secretary
(in-charge) Reena Nayyar while replying to Narayanasamy's letter cited a
Supreme Court judgement and urged him to ensure that the statutory time
schedule for completion of admission process is `strictly complied
with' and `no deviations' made. Narayanasamy in a letter dated July 23
addressed to the Union health and family welfare minister Jagat Prakash
Nadda, marking a copy to MCI chairperson, sought permission to allow the
centralized admission committee (Centac) to continue first round of
counselling to fill up MBBS seats under management quota in three
private colleges beyond July 24.
Nayyar said the Supreme Court in an order dated July 5 readjusted the dates of various stages of admission to MBBS course following delay in publishing the results of National eligibility cum entrance test (NEET). But the Supreme Court declared that the last date (August 31) up to which the students can be admitted to MBBS course against the vacancies by the deemed universities and medical institutions remains unchanged.
The government claimed that the decision to seek postponement was taken following a representation from various students and parents association that Tamil Nadu students will get maximum seats in Puducherry under management quota as the admission has been stalled in Tamil Nadu.
A spokesperson of the students-parents association V Balasubramanian said ironically both students and private college managements gain out of postponement as Pondy students need not compete with Tamil Nadu students and private colleges too have time to focus on next course of action. As per the readjusted dates, the first round of counselling for MBBS seats under state and management quotas must be completed between July 16 and 24. Centac held the first round of counselling to fill up MBBS seats under government quota on July 22 and 23. But the committee postponed counselling to fill up MBBS seats under management quota on July 24 after Nayaranasamy's July 23 letter to Nadda and MCI chairperson.
Puducherry government might face the wrath of the topmost court, which can initiate contempt proceedings for failing to honour its order by holding the first round of counselling before July 24. As per the readjusted schedule, the students allotted seats in the first round of counselling must join the colleges by July 31.
The committee must hold the second round of counselling from August 1to 7 for the all India quota and from August 8 to 19 for state and management quotas. Classes for the first year MBBS programme must commence from August 1 and the last date for admission should be August 31.
Secure 50% quota in MBBS seats: Bedi
Puducherry:Lt governor Kiran Bedi on Wednesday urged the Congress government to pass a resolution in the legislative assembly earmarking 50% of MBBS seats in private medical colleges and hospitals under state quota. She insisted the government pass the resolution for the benefit of the students in the Union territory. She regretted that the government did not do so in the last assembly session.
“If the government passes a resolution in the assembly I will forward it to the Union government for immediate approval,“ she said. Bedi is of the opinion that such a resolution will put an end to the stalemate in sharing of seats between the government and managements of private colleges every year. TNN
