Reason is the Supreme Court stay on notification issued by Karnataka
Postgraduate medical and dental seat aspirants from Karnataka are a worried lot as the seat allotment process has been put on hold after the Supreme Court stayed a notification issued by Karnataka.
The notification had made studying in the State for a minimum of 10 years mandatory for qualifying for government seats in postgraduate medical and dental colleges.
Students had written the Postgraduate National Entrance cum Eligibility Test (PG NEET) on January 7, as the test is the gateway to obtain government and government-quota seats.
The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA), which was supposed to announce the mock results for candidates on March 30, did not put it up as per the Supreme Court directions. Further, the real allotment process scheduled for April 5 is also not likely to take place.
A postgraduate medical seat aspirant said students were waiting for the verdict to put an end to the uncertainty. “I am completely pinning all my hopes on getting a government quota seat in Karnataka. This may happen only if the 10 years clause is retained,” the candidate said.
Another candidate added that she is in a dilemma as she has secured a seat under the All India quota and the last date to report to colleges is April 5. “I thought I would see the results announced by KEA to know if I have bagged a government seat in Karnataka and then decide if I should take the All India quota seat. But, now I will just have to pick the All India quota seat,” she said.
Medical Education Department authorities said they had expected the judgement to be pronounced on Monday, but it has not taken place. “We are racing against time as the last date to complete admissions for all rounds, including the mop-up round, is May 18,” an official said.
