Counselling for admission to medical and dental colleges began on Monday with no seats from Vellore-based Christian Medical College (CMC) on display for allotment through government quota, althougheightother self-financing colleges had put 862 seats on display.
Several top ranked students who came into the counselling hall wanting to opt for the century-old college were told that there will be no seats in state quota for CMC. “Admission to all 100 seats in CMC will be done through management quota as per court orders,” selection committee secretary G Selvarajan said.
Parents of several students ranked in the top 250 told TOI that they would have opted for CMC as the college charged ₹3000 per year against the₹13,500 in government colleges, had a better brand name, campus and faculty.
Officials from CMC said 84 seats were reserved for students from churches that have a hospital in rural areas networking with CMC, three seats for SC/ ST students and one seat for MCI. The college had already triggered a debate during postgraduate admissions. The seats allotted were based on conditions that priority must be given to Christians from “minority network” and “minority service”.
The state, CMC said, had “obliged” and allotted nearly 50% of the 195 PG seats, including in-demand clinical degree courses, exclusively for Christians. This year, of the 195 PG seats, 81 were allotted to Christian students from the minority network colleges such as Christian Medical College in Ludhiana or St Johns Medical College in Bengaluru and 25 seats went to Christian students who are working in these institutions.
