At least two senior officials in charge of medical admissions, director of medical education (DME) Dr A Edwin Joe and selection committee secretary Dr G Selvarajan, are scheduled to retire on July 31 amid the MBBS/ BDS admissions for the 2019-20 academic year.
The selection committee under the directorate of medical education, conducts the single window online counselling for medical admissions based on merit in NEET and 69% rule of reservation. Almost all seats in the state run medical colleges and self financing colleges for MBBS were taken during the first round of counselling. The seats that fell vacant in government colleges until Thursday will come into the state’s matrix for the second round of counselling.
The details of the new schedule weren’t available till late on Friday. The state committee said it has sent letters to deans of colleges seeking information on the number of vacant seats. “We have asked all colleges for details of students who have not joined after the state and central counselling. We will update the seat matrix once we have the data,” said Selvarajan.
The state is yet to make an official decision on adopting the 10% quota for the economically weaker section, but health department officials said they have received a request for the extension of the service of selection committee secretary until the admission process for MBBS and BDS is complete. “The letter is under consideration. Nevertheless, we will be able to continue the counselling without any hassle,” he said. The health department also shortlisted three senior doctors for the post of DME. “Usually a dean of a medical college takes over as a DME,” a senior official said.
