CHENNAI: The seven-member state committee headed by retired judge Justice A Selvam formed to decide on the remote, difficult and rural areas of Tamil Nadu for which in-service candidates would be given incentive marks for PG medical admissions met for the first time on Thursday.
The committee, framed as per court directive, will seek information from all districts collectors before their second meeting which is likely to be scheduled within a week. The committee members include Tamil Nadu Medical Services Corporation chairman P Umanath, directors of medical services, public health and medical education, selection committee secretary and a demographer from the University of Madras. “We are planning to come out with a comprehensive report before the prospectus is issued,” said a senior official.
In 2018, a six-member committee under Tamil Nadu Medical Services Corporation chairman P Umanath used “hybrid” methods to work out difficult and remote areas based on terrain, doctor-patient ratio and vacancies in the government hospitals. Postings were divided into three categories of which two groups received benefits. Category A will receive 100% of the maximum permissible incentive marks – 10% of marks over and above their NEET score for every year, not exceeding 30%. The second group, category B, will receive 40% of the maximum permissible incentive marks – 4% of marks over and above their NEET score for every year, not exceeding 30%.
However, several in-service doctors and government doctors’ associations moved court against the implementation of the recommendation. The court later directed the state to set up a committee under a retired judge and release the recommendations before 2018 admissions.
This year, students will appear for PG 2019, NEET examination on January 6 and results are expected on January 31. Counselling for admission under the state quota will begin after at least one round of counselling by the directorate general of health services under the all-India quota. “We have adequate time to publish recommendations before the prospectus is published,” said one of the members.
