Now, deemed
med varsity admissions under state control
Admissions to private and deemed
medical institutes across the country will now be conducted by their respective
state governments on the basis of NEET scores.
A
notification issued by the Union ministry of health and family welfare on
Friday makes it mandatory for all states to conduct common counselling for
admissions to all undergraduate and postgraduate courses, even in private and
deemed institutes, from 2017-18. While admissions to private institutes in
Maharashtra were already under the state's centralized process, this
notification paves way for common counselling even in deemed ones. The move
will bring relief to close to thousands of aspirants in the state.
The
government's notification was issued in pursuance of an amendment to the
Regulations on Graduate Medical Education (First Amendment) 2017, released by
the Medical Council of India. The amendment in chapter II under the clause of
`selection of students' states that counselling for all admissions to MBBS
course in all medical institutions shall be under the overall superintendence,
direction and control of the state government.
A
similar notification issued by the state last year was challenged by deemed
universities and the matter is pending in the HC. “Till the court orders a stay
on the Centre's notification, the government can implement it for admissions to
the 2017-18 academic year,“ said director Pravin Shingare, Directorate of
Medical Education and Research. The state is also in the process of amending
the Maharashtra Private and Unaided Professional Institutions (Regulation of
admissions and fees) 2015 to bring deemed universities under their control.
“Common
counselling will ensure that students and parents do not have to run from one
college to another to meet the admission deadline of individual institutes,“
said a parent of a medical aspirant. Some of the sought-after deemed institutes
in the state include three colleges run by the DY Patil group, Pravara
Institute of Medical Sciences, Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences, Bharati
Vidyapeeth, etc.
