CHENNAI : Over 17,500 applications sold out on the first day of sale for MBBS and BDS courses across the state on Monday. There was commotion at the Government Kilpauk Medical College when crowds thronged the venue to buy application forms. Among government medical colleges in Chennai, the Government Kilpauk Medical College sold the highest number of applications. Police were roped in after the management could not control the agitating crowd. The parents also charged that there were no proper arrangements.
“We are made to wait for hours for an application. They gave a token to get demand draft, but after seeing the crowd, token system was not followed. Whoever went out and got the demand draft were allowed first, and we were left behind. I came around 9 am,” said A Suganya, a candidate’s parent.Meanwhile, a senior doctor at the KMCH said, “We did not expect so many people, so we were not prepared. Even in banks, it would take at least two hours to get DD. So, we made arrangements at the venue. But, because of the crowd, we could not provide the service smoothly”.
Traffic outside the college was also affected. The management said that, from next year it would deploy volunteers and restrict vehicles’ entry into the campus. The management also extended the timing of sale of applications to around 6 pm from the scheduled 5 pm.
The Government Kilpauk Medical College sold 2,905 applications, the Government Medical College in Omandurar Estate 389, the Government Stanley Medical College 393 and the Madras Medical College sold 603 applications. According to the selection committee of the Directorate of Medical Education, across the state 11,967 applications for government seats and 5,631 applications for management quota seats were sold out, that is, a total of 17,598 applications on day one.
