The government is also in the process of formulating an ordinance to include deemed universities in the common counselling conducted for admissions to 85% of their undergraduate seats.
While 50% will be
filled by the state government in PG colleges, the remaining 50% will be
retained by college managements, said Pravin Shingare, director of
Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER). The state will,
therefore, fill around 450 of the 900 PG seats in private colleges, 550
of the 1,100 in deemed medical universities and 100% for 1,200 seats in
state government colleges.
However, for undergraduate admissions, which will commence only after NEETUG results will be out in June, a government resolution alone is not enough, said a government official. “Central ized UG admissions in deemed colleges were challenged in the Bombay high court last year. Since the matter is still pending in court, we will have to issue an ordinance in order to include deemed colleges in the purview of the Admissions' Act,“ said the official. Shingare confirmed that the government is working on the ordinance and is keen on bringing it out before this year's admission commence.
Parents of medical aspirants are in favour of a centralized counselling process across private and deemed colleges for undergraduate admissions. While private admissions in the state are already governed by the state, parents are awaiting the ordinance, which would bring deemed colleges under the state's purview too. Since last year's process was chaotic, parents have sought clarity on the rules and regulations in advance. One parent said if deemed universities come under the state's centralized process for PG admissions, the same policy should be applicable for UG too.
NEET 2017 on May 7; exam in 10 languages, Urdu excluded
NEET 2017 for admissions to undergraduate courses in medical and dental colleges will be held on May 7. CBSE, which expects around 10 lakh students to appear for the test this year, released the notification on Tuesday. The test will be conducted across 80 cities. While it will be conducted in two more languages--Oriya and Kannada--Urdu is not included in the notification. Earlier, the exam was to be conducted in eight languages, including Hindi, English and Marathi. The Students' Islamic Organisation (SIO) of India has decided to move Supreme Court on Wednesday seeking inclusion of Urdu in NEET 2017.
“There are around 168 schools in Maharashtra alone. There will be students from other states too whose first language could be Urdu. How can they ignore such a large number of students?“ said Mohammad Ali, public relations secretary of SIO. The registration process for NEET commenced on Tuesday and will go on till March 1. The upper age limit of candidates has been fixed at 25 years and only three attempts will be allowed to all students. Registration process details are available on http:www.cbseneet.nic.in. TNN
