There were tense moments durng counselling for admission to fill 150 MBBS seats in Muthukumaran Medical College on Tuesday as parents and students wanted the selection committee to explain why it had decided to give ‘provisional’ admission to students when a case against the college was still pending in court. The process had to be paused for nearly half hour in the morning.
A division bench of Justice S Manikumar and Justice Subramonium Prasad on Monday passed an interim order stating that admissions through counselling can only be provisional.
The selection committee put out a notice saying that selection and provisional admission accepted by the student shall be at their own risk and any such selection and admission shall be subject to the order of the Madras high court in connection with one of the cases against the college.
On Tuesday, when counselling opened, students seeking re-allotment from other self-financing colleges were told that they may have to lose their seat if Muthukumaran college lost recognition.
“If the new admission is cancelled the student won’t have the right to claim the seat he/she was originally allotted,” selection committee secretary G Selvarajan said.
Earlier, the Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University had denied affiliation to the college because nearly seven buildings belonging to the medical college including students’ hostels, postgraduate/doctors’ quarters, nursing hostels and libraries that are illegal were facing demolition.
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) has asked Tangedco to cut power supply to the seven buildings.
Only on August 19, based on a plea from the college, a single judge of the court had directed the Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University to grant affiliation to the institute and include 150 MBBS seats available with the college in counselling.
On Monday, hearing the writ appeal by K M Krishnan challenging the single judge order, the court said parents would have to be warned.
“I am glad we know about this. But why put students’ lives at risk? That too, for a decision to be taken after three months? What were they all doing from January,” asked Ram Narayanan, whose niece was seeking an MBBS seat in the college.
A few other parents wanted to know why the state had handed over NRI seats back to the college after one round of counselling.
“They have allowed the colleges to convert these into management seats, where the fee is lower. But colleges are now demanding capitation because they can admit students to these seats on their on,” said Mohan Kumar, a parent of a medical aspirant.
