PG medical aspirants uncertain about future
Candidates unsure whether Centac selection is final
The admission process for PG medical and dental seats turned murkier on the last day of counselling (extended till Wednesday subsequently) as several candidates were still unclear if their seats selected through Centralised Admission Committee (Centac) counselling were confirmed.
Besides, several candidates were not permitted for counselling and asked to directly approach the medical colleges, which demanded Rs. 35 lakh for a seat against the annual fee of Rs. 3 lakh announced by the fee committee.
A candidate from Rajasthan arrived on Monday morning to attend counselling for PG diploma course in dermatology. However, he was not allowed to fill the application form stating that he was late.
“I arrived at 11 a.m. when the last candidate was attending counselling. But, they denied me an application form and asked me to contact the representatives from the medical institutions. When I spoke to them, they demanded Rs. 35 lakh to Rs. 40 lakh annual fee for a diploma course, against Rs. 3 lakh found on the website. Besides, the two seats which were vacant at the end of counselling, were shown as filled on Tuesday afternoon,” the candidate claimed.
The person wanted to know how the seats could be filled without counselling at the press conference in the presence of Lieutenant Governor and Centac officials on Tuesday.
The Centac officials informed that 71 seats available under government quota were merged with the management quota and listed for all-India quota for the mop-up counselling, which was held on Monday.
Candidates selected through Centac for the PG medical and dental courses and their parents waited outside the Centac office till late evening waiting for the confirmation of their seats.
They alleged that no one from the government helped the candidates in admission to the self-financed colleges and deemed universities.
“I have been running from pillar to post to get the seat confirmed which I have got through merit in a deemed university. What is the point in clearing in NEET examination and securing a seat through merit? The college management is saying that they have cancelled my seat even, though I paid Rs. 33 lakh. When I spoke to the Centac officials they asked me not to worry since my name is on the list. Who is going to clarify this confusion? The entire admission process has become chaotic and students are at a loss,” said the candidate.
