Medical aspirants will have to face just a single entrance test for admission to any medical college across the country, including AIIMS and JIPMER (Puducherry) and PGI from next year.
The common National Eligibility-cum Entrance Test (NEET) for admission to under graduate medical courses from the 2020-21session will be conducted as per the National Medical Commission Act 2019, health ministry said on Friday.
While the ministry has already started notifying rules to implement the new law, members of the National Medical Commission — which will replace the Medical Council of India (MCI) — will be chosen through a draw of lots on October 14. “The efforts of the government are to constitute the NMC at the earliest so that some of the major reforms can be implemented from the coming academic year 2020-21,” health minister Harsh Vardhan said.
Vardhan said the government is also working to implement fee regulations from 2020-21session.
Earlier in September, the ministry notified five rules under the NMC Act, 2019.
With the objective to reform medical education and end corruption, the new Act was passed by the Parliament during the last session replacing the Indian Medical Council (IMC) Act.
The government has received nominations from 23 vice chancellors and 22 nominations from state medical councils for constitution of NMC. “The ministry has already invited applications for the posts of chairperson of the commission, presidents and members of four autonomous boards, members and secretary of the commission and the last date for submission of the applications is October 18,” Vardhan said.
