800 BDS seats filled during spot allotment
About 800 BDS seats in private self-financing colleges were filled on Sunday when the first round of spot allotment to the course drew to a close. As in the case of the MBBS allotment, 107 seats were transferred to the merit category from the NRI quota in 13 colleges for want of takers for the latter category. At close of counselling on Sunday, there were 26 NRI seats vacant in four dental colleges. These seats would be filled during a spot allotment to be held here on September 8.
Commissioner for Entrance Examinations M.T. Reju said here that even those colleges, which said they would go to court against the decision to shift the NRI quota seats to merit seats, cooperated with the CEE on Sunday.
However, some managements opposed the shifting of seats to the merit category which would fetch a lower fee. While the fee for the BDS merit seats is Rs. 2.9 lakh, the fee in the NRI category is Rs. 6 lakh.
