Chennai: Admissions to postgraduate medical seats will be through common counselling either by the directorate general of medical services or by the government, and not by medical colleges, the Union health and family welfare ministry clarified in a letter to principal secretaries of all states and Union territories.
A Supreme Court order to this effect will supersede the MCI admission regulations for 2018, dated April 5, which provide for private medical colleges to admit students to 50% of the seats, it said.
In a two-page letter issued on April 10, undersecretary Amit Biswas said, in view of the September 2016 court order making entrance test and common counselling mandatory, “All admissions will be made through common counselling and not by the medical colleges or institutions concerned. Since the PG counselling session 2018-19 is going on, it is hereby reiterated that the state governments shall conduct common counselling for all PG institutions... including for management and NRI quota seats. There shall be no exemption whatsoever.”
The Postgraduate Medical Education (Amendment) Regulations 2018 said state governments or authorities they appoint should fill 50% of the seats in non-government medical colleges; medical colleges should fill the remaining seats on the basis of the NEET merit list.
The ministry reiterated this was an existing clause 9
(iv) notified on December 21 2010 under the PG Medical Education Regulation 2010. Under the same regulation, Clause 9 (A) mandates common counselling for all institutions in the state, it said.
MCI officials will discuss the regulations in an executive committee meeting next week. “The notification caused a lot of confusion,” said MCI vice-president Dr C V Bhirmanandham. “The notification also mentions that admissions cannot violate the Supreme Court order. We will discuss the issue on Wednesday,” he said.
The state health department said there were no changes in the admission process. The directorate of medical education, New Delhi, will conduct counselling for the seats (50%) that staterun medical colleges surrender under the all India quota. They will also conduct counselling for central institutions, universities established by an act of Parliament and deemed universities. The directorate will also hold counselling for admission to all superspecialty courses across the country.
The state selection committee under TN’s Directorate of Medical Education will conduct counselling for state quota seats. “The letter from the Union ministry clarifies that we should conducting counselling for all seats in selffinancing colleges affiliated to the state university. No other admission will be valid,” health secretary J Radhakrishnan said.
