The Medical Council of India has finally decided (and Accepted by Health Ministry) that there will be only one common entrance test each for over 30,000 MBBS seats and over 11,000 MD seats in all government and medical colleges in the country, reports the Times of India
Earlier (till this year), students wanting to take up courses in medicine had to appear in at least five to six MBBS and MD entrance tests for various colleges and worry about attendant problems like clash of exam dates as well as travel to distant places for counselling for allotment of seats.
But from 2011, there will be just one entrance test each for MBBS and MD courses offered by all 271 medical colleges, 138 government-run and 133 under private management. These colleges together offer over 31,000 seats for MBBS courses and another 11,000 for PG.
The confusion caused by multiple entrance tests and counselling saw hundreds of students rush to the Supreme Court every year complaining about the system where they were left high and dry even for making a single mistake in their choices.
In response to a petition filed by Simran Jain through advocate A D N Rao had sought a direction from the Supreme court to Medical Council of India (MCI) and the Centre for a single window system for admissions.
During hearing of the petition before a Bench comprising Justices R V Raveendran and H L Gokhale, the decision for one common entrance test was conveyed by MCI counsel and senior advocate Amarendra Saran. Additional solicitor general P P Malhotra said the government had accepted MCI’s suggestion to amend the regulation concerning admissions to medical colleges.
