CHENNAI, JUNE 28, 2019 00:00 IST
State’s position unclear; self-financing colleges not keen
The Medical Council of India (MCI) has extended the deadline till Friday to apply for the 10% economically weaker section quota. .
This is the third time the MCI has extended the deadline since the first announcement was made on April 18.
The last date to submit applications was June 11.
On Tuesday, the MCI again issued a circular revising the last date to June 28.
The council has sought intimation on the reservation percentage of the State for all categories, along with the proposal.
The dean of a college said as per the MCI procedure colleges could individually email the council and also the government requesting additional seats. This could increase the number of MBBS/BDS seats substantially in the State.
Director of Medical Education A. Edwin Joe said the colleges had forwarded to him the applications which he had forwarded to the government.
The official said, “The State government is the owner of the colleges and we have to get its concurrence. We have 3,350 seats of which we should get around 335 seats if the quota is implemented,” he said.
Health Secretary Beela Rajesh said, “It is still a policy decision that the government has to take.”
Self-financing medical colleges in the State have also not attempted to apply for the EWS quota.
The principal of a self-financing college said he had discouraged his management from applying. The colleges will have to parallelly improve the infrastructure and increase the faculty strength. The fee structure for these students is low whereas the faculty salary would be high, the official pointed out.
On Wednesday, the Medical Counselling Committee of the Director General of Health Services extended the deadline for choice locking for the all-India quota seats.
MCC revises schedule
On Thursday, it announced the revised schedule: the seat allotment process will be done till June 30 and the results of the first round would be available on July 1.
Candidates will get time to join colleges till July 6. The second round of counselling will begin on July 9.
The DME is expected to release merit list for State quota on July 2.
