Puducherry: The Medical Council of India (MCI) has directed three private medical colleges in the Union Territory of Puducherry to remove from the rolls of the institution 161 students who were admitted to the MBBS course for the academic year 2017-18 in violation of regulations.
The MCI directed Sri Manakula Vinayagar Medical College and Hospital to discharge 41 students, Sri Venkateswara Medical College, Hospital and Research Institute to discharge 94 students and Pondicherry Institute of Medical Sciences to discharge 26 students.
The council said the colleges admitted these students in violation of the Graduate Medical Education (GME) Regulations, 1997. The council added that the names of these students did not appear on the list provided to it by the centralised admission committee (Centac).
However, the Puducherry government maintained that the council has erroneously recommended the discharge of 56 students of Sri Venkateswara Institute.
"These 56 students were duly sponsored by Centac, Puducherry. We have taken up the matter with the council to withdraw the action against the 56 students," director (health and family welfare services) K V Raman said.
He added that the government has asked Sri Venkateswara Institute not to discharge the 56 until further orders or recommendations from the council.
Meanwhile, the Puducherry government has directed the three medical colleges to immediately discharge the remaining 105 students and submit compliance reports.
The government has also sent the communication to the registrars of Pondicherry University and Tamil Nadu State Medical Council for necessary action.
The MCI had on September 7 directed the Puducherry government to discharge 778 students admitted into the MBBS course for the academic year 2016-17 in four deemed universities and three private medical colleges for failing to adhere to the prescribed norms in the admission process.
The students, however, moved the Madras high court and sought an interim stay on the MCI's direction and thereafter, they were able to appear for their first year examinations.
