Even
as the medical admission process hangs in balance in the State, sale of
applications for joining siddha medical colleges began at Government
Siddha Medical College in Palayamkottai on Wednesday.
As many as 219 students, including 10 candidates under special category, bought the applications after Dr. Thiruthani, principal (in-charge) and professor of toxicology of the college, inaugurated the sale.
Following the confusion and uncertainty that prevails in medical admissions in the State this year following the introduction of National Entrance and Eligibility Test (NEET), some of the students who had dreamt of joining MBBS have now decided to join Siddha medicine.
“Though my daughter’s cut-off marks for medicine is 199, NEET has played spoilsport, as she studied under the State Board’s ‘samacheer kalvi’ syllabus. Hence, she decided to join Siddha medicine, which is gradually winning the people’s trust and confidence,” said the father of a student waiting in the long queue to buy the application.
Sale of applications also started at Government Ayurveda College in Nagercoil in Kanniyakumari district on Wednesday.
