The state health department is likely to include 150 more MBBS seats in seat matrix this year, as the Madras high court on Wednesday asked Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University to give conditional, provisional affiliation to Sri Muthukumaran Medical College.
The college could not find itself in the list of eligible colleges during MBBS counselling because seven building blocks in the self-financing medical college had been declared illegal by the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA), which also issued lock, seal and demolition notices. On Wednesday, however, Justice G Jayachandran directed the state medical university to grant affiliation to the college after getting undertaking from the management that within a period of three months they will rectify the defects pointed out by the university’s inspection team.
“The defects pointed out by the inspection committee appears to be compliable, if the institute genuinely wants to rectify and comply. This court is of the opinion that the institute may not take the risk of disaffiliation by not complying with the undertaking, to rectify the defects pointed out by the inspection committee within three months,” Justice Jayachandran said while disposing of the plea moved by the college.
In July, a letter from CMDA chairman Vikram Kapoor asked Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Limited (Tangedco) to withdraw power to 14 blocks of Sri Muthukumar Group of Institutions. The blocks housing library, doctors' quarters, hostels, college of nursing, and a public school were declared unauthorised. Although the college has won this round of legal battle, the state selection committee may have to seek permission from the Medical Council of India (MCI) to conduct counselling for the 150 MBBS seats in the college.
The deadline for MBBS counselling for admission to government and self-financing colleges ended on August 8. As per the MCI guidelines, allotted students had to join the respective colleges by August 12. The seats remaining vacant post August 12 were considered stray vacancies by the college. The management was allowed to admit students based on an in-house rank list based on NEET 2019. “We returned more than 200 NRI seats to various self-financing colleges. Most of these seats will be converted to management quota seats where the fee is lower,” said selection committee secretary Dr G Selvarajan. The deadline for admission to stray vacancies was August 18.
The selection committee will now have to seek permission from the apex body to see if it can admit students for the current academic year.
