Puducherry: Lieutenant governor Kiran Bedi has warned the private medical colleges and deemed universities flouting norms in the admission of students in postgraduate medical and dental courses of stringent legal and administrative action.

The lieutenant governor in a WhatsApp message on Friday further warned that any violations on the part of the private colleges and deemed universities in the admission of students cleared by the centralised admission committee will lead to ‘serious consequences’. Bedi, who held a meeting on Friday to review the ongoing postgraduate medical and dental admission, appreciated the territorial officials for launching all-out efforts in ensuring fair and transparent admission process.

“This time (the academic year 2018-19) the consequences for non-compliance (by the private medical colleges and deemed universities), if any, will be very severe including contempt, criminal and administrative action against the colleges,” Bedi said while quoting an official.

She said a senior official went a step further and insisted on sealing one of the premises of the colleges that flout the rules. “We should resort to sealing one of their main premise which may cater to first year students... also the health department should let the colleges know of these consequences,” Bedi said while quoting the senior official.

Centac coordinator (admissions) Rudra Goud said 17 postgraduate medical seats (12 under government quota and five under management quota) and eight postgraduate dental seats (seven under government quota and one under management) were filled after round one of the admission process that concluded by 3pm on Friday.
