MBBS aspirants applying for
second round of counselling for seats under allIndia quota or deemed
universities category, must make a `calculated decision', as, otherwise,
they may lose their right to take part in counselling for state
government seats.
The Directorate General
of Health Services (DGHS) New Delhi has made two things clear: One,
students who get allotment under allIndia quota must join the college
concerned, and that no other option is left to them.Two, those allotted a
deemed university seat would lose their right to take part in any
further counselling.
For instance, if a high ranked student makes a casual choice under deemed university category , and is allotted an institute in the northeast, he would be rendering himself ineligible for counselling in his own state. So those sure of a seat in their state or other plac es of their choice shouldn't make a casual choice. The FAQ in the prospectus , however, incorrectly says participation in the all-India or deemed university counselling will render the candidate ineligible for any other counselling.Both the DGHS counselling scheme and the Supreme Court judgment in the Dar-ul-Islam case make it simply clear that it is allotment and not never participation, which would disentitle a candidate from other counselling processes. Tamil Nadu will be among the worst-affected by this restriction as it is yet to start counselling.
The second round of online all-India counselling begins on Saturday and students are locking options. Citing an SC order, the prospectus advises students “to take a calculated decision of continuing in the second round of AIQ [all-India quota]“ as they will not be permitted to quit from that round. But students from Tamil Nadu will be in no position to make a decision as the Directorate of Medical Education is yet to release the merit list. “We don't even have a rank list [unlike other states]. I don't know my daughter stands a chance of admission in a government college here,“ said S Senthil Mohan, a parent.
Tamil Nadu, which moved the apex court after the high court quashed its order on 85% quota for state board students, has put counselling on hold.
