Thousands of aspirants left in the lurch

An error in the online post graduate medical and dental seat allotment process for the all-India quota seats has left thousands of aspirants in the lurch.

Candidates were taken aback as the seat allotment results published on Wednesday afternoon were withdrawn and termed as “null and void.”

Fresh results soon

An announcement on the official website of the medical counselling committee (MCC) under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, stated, “Due to inadvertent/technical mistake. Result published today (afternoon) may be treated as null and void.” The announcement also said fresh results would be uploaded on the website shortly and added that the last date for reporting to colleges was extended to April 5. Students are dejected that the results were withdrawn and are worried that their results maybe changed.

A candidate who was allotted an MD seat in the Dr. B.C. Roy Post Graduate Institute of Paediatric Sciences, Kolkata, said he was all set to book his tickets to report to the college.

“But later in the evening, I came to know that the results have been withdrawn and I will now have to wait for the results to be announced once again to know where I have obtained a seat,” he said.
