CBSE to conduct Neet on May 6

he Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will conduct the National Eligibility cm Entrance Test (Neet) 2018, the common medical entrance test to admit students in MBBS and BDS courses, on May 6.

The admission for all the seats except AIIMS and Jipmer will be conducted based on Neet marks.

Sanyam Bhardwaj, joint secretary and officer on special duty (Neet), CBSE, recently communicated the Neet date with all boards to avoid the clash with the Neet (UG) date.

The official notification will be issued on or before January 30 with more details on the examination, sources said.

Last year over 11 lakh students appeared for Neet held on May 7. From Tamil Nadu around 88,000 students have appeared for the exam. It was conducted in 103 cities across the country and 8 cities including Chennai, Vellore, Namakkal, Tiruchi, Madurai, Coimbatore.

After many rounds of litigations, the medical admission was conducted based on Neet marks in the states. There were widespread protests across the state against the entrance test last year following the su***de of medical aspirant and plus 2 toppers Anitha from Ariyalur district.

As per the Supreme Court order, the ministry of health and family welfare has amended Medical Council of India Act & Dental Council of India Acts and made provision for integrated Neet for UG admissions for 65,000 MBBS and 25,000 BDS seats in all government, private medical colleges and deemed to be universities in the country.

Medical Council of India throws out 778 private college students in Puducherry

The medical education regulator has cancelled the admission of 778 MBBS students who joined private colleges in Puducherry last year for violating the Supreme Court’s guidelines, HT has learnt.

All the seven private medical colleges in the Union territory “haven’t demonstrated any evidence of fairness and transparency in the admission process...” the Medical Council of India said in a September 7, 2017 letter, cancelling the admissions.

HT has a copy of the order that came on the complaint of Puducherry lieutenant governor Kiran Bedi, who said merit had been sacrificed for money.

Bedi got complaints from parents alleging fraud and ordered a probe which found that of the 1,200 students who joined the bachelor of medicine, bachelor of surgery, or MBBS, in 2016, 778 were admitted overlooking the top court’s directives on the national eligibility-cum-entrance test (NEET).

The state-run Indira Gandhi Medical College, which has 150 seats, is in the clean as it followed the counselling guidelines.

The MCI order highlights the difficulties in cleaning up medical education, a lucrative business, in India. NEET that replaced a web of tests conducted by states and various medical colleges was one such step.

But, some colleges continue to set aside norms for money or favour, leaving out deserving students. States have come up with arbitrary guidelines this year as well, as reported by Hindustan Times on Wednesday, raising questions over the fairness of the process.

While restoring NEET in 2016, the top court ordered all states to designate a counselling authority to prepare a list of successful candidates.

Puducherry, too, set up a centralised admission committee (Centac) but the seven private colleges admitted students directly, ignoring the panel.

Of the 1,200 MBBS seats -- bulk of them are with private colleges -- available in the UT, 283 are set aside for students of Puducherry, or state quota, while the remaining 767 are available to aspirants from across India.

Last year, 280 state-quota seats were filled through Centac. The three that remained vacant were added to the India pool, taking the number of seats to 770.

Panchapakesan Ganesan, whose daughter was denied admission, alleged that 778 admissions -- 770 under all India quota and eight in state quota – were made fraudulently.

President of Puducherry UT All Centac Students Parents Association M Narayanassamy wrote to Bedi, who asked a committee led by a retired judge, Chitra Venkatraman, to look into the charges.

Venkatraman’s report said the entire exercise violated the Supreme Court order, as students with high NEET scores were denied admission with money taking precedence over marks.

“At the hands of the private medical colleges, merit has become a casualty,” Bedi said in a letter to MCI.

The MCI on September 7 informed the chief secretary of its decision cancelling admission of all the students “except those who were admitted through Centac”.

As in the past, students can challenge the MCI order in the courts.

The MCI in 2016 threw out 519 students in four states for similar violations but most of the colleges managed to get relief from courts.

Colleges were misusing the legal system, as courts’ normally took a compassionate view and allowed students to continue, a senior lawyer who didn’t wish to be identified said.

‘Why spare colleges?’

The parents association has questioned the MCI’s failure to act against the erring colleges.

“I am surprised why no action has been recommended by the MCI against colleges? I feel disappointed as we didn’t intend to destroy the career of students,” Narayanasamy said.

Ganesan said he had written to the President seeking amnesty for students. “I started this crusade so that private colleges would mend their ways and be made more accountable. But I can’t see it happening,” he said.

Parents who have paid lakhs of rupees in fee say scrapping of admission a year later was unfair.

Haryana to seek Rs 10 crore bond from private medical colleges

Private medical colleges in Haryana will be required to furnish a bond of Rs 10 crore to ensure that such institutions do not put the future of students in a jeopardy if they shut down, it was announced on Monday.

Haryana Health Minister Anil Vij said private medical colleges and private unaided medical institutions would be required to sign a bond of Rs 10 crore so that they do not close down in-between and leave the future of medical students in the dark.
The move comes following a recent incident in which the Goldfield Medical College in Faridabad shut down and left scores of students in the lurch.

“Students have to face many adjustment difficulties in these colleges. The matter of acquiring of Goldfield Medical College is under consideration of Chief Minister Manohar Lal and the decision in this regard would be taken soon,” Vij said.

Vij said the fee limit has been fixed for MBBS, BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery), BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Sciences), BHMS (Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Sciences) and other courses in private medical colleges and private unaided medical institutions.

“This would bring uniformity in fee structure and would end financial exploitation of students,” the minister said.
Under the approved fee structure, the tuition and development fee of Rs 10 lakh annually and NRI initial fee of $110,000 has been fixed for the MBBS course.

“Earlier, private medical colleges used to take exorbitant fee from students… now this would not happen in future. Besides this, private universities and deemed universities would also be covered by the Haryana Private Health Sciences Educational Institutions (Regulations of Admission, Fixation of Fee and Maintenance of Educational Standards) Act, 2012,” he added.
Tuition fee of Rs 2.80 lakh annually and NRI initial fee of $44,000 has been fixed for the BDS course.

Pvt colleges stop counselling for MBBS, BDS courses

Private medical colleges have stopped admissions to the MBBS/BDS courses, for which counselling is under way in the state, jeopardising the future of aspirants.

These private colleges have locked horns with the government on the issue of number of seats that each private college will allocate and on the charging of fees.

In all, there are two private medical colleges and one private dental college where seats have to be filled in for this academic year.

The main grouse of the medical colleges is that the fee structure has not been revised and the fee structure of 2012-2013 is in place for this session as well. They also claim that the private colleges have the right to allocate number of seats and fees for courses according to their own rules.

In Uttarakhand, like in other states, students are being admitted to these courses based on the national eligibility-cum-entrance test (NEET) conducted by the CBSE.

However, Director of Medical Education Ashutosh Sayana said a notice had been served to the private medical colleges to abide by the fee structure and the number of seats allocated to them. “We have put the details on the website, including the fee structure. They have to abide by the decision and not inconvenience the students,” added Sayana.

‘Have right to allot number of seats’

The main grouse of the medical colleges is that the fee structure has not been revised and the fee structure of 2012-2013 is in place for this session as well. They also claim that the private colleges have the right to allocate number of seats and fees for courses according to their own rules.

Complete admissions by August 31, says MCI

The Medical Council of India (MCI) has requested the Puducherry government to ensure that the statutory time of completion of admission for joining medical colleges by August 31 is strictly complied with and that no deviations are made.

This is in response to the letter sent by Chief Minister V. Narayanasamy seeking permission to allow the Centralised Admission Committee (Centac) to postpone the first round of counselling for first year MBBS management quota seats beyond July 24 for the academic year 2017-18.

In its reply, the MCI has stated that the first round of counselling/admission for seats filled up by the Directorate General of Health Services for All India quota and Deemed and Central Universities should be held from July 3 to 15 while the counselling for seats filled by the State Government should be held from July 16 to 24.

Similarly, the second round of counselling for All India quota should be held from August 1 to 7 for seats under All India quota and Deemed Universities and from August 8 to 19 for seats filled up by the State Government. All India quota seats remaining vacant after the last date for joining, August 16, will be deemed to be converted into State quota. In any circumstances, last date for admission/joining will not be extended after August 31, the MCI stated.

Medical admission: ‘Munnabhais’ claim multiple domiciles to up seat chances

One India, many states. This year's medical admissions may have given it a new meaning. Wanting to improve their chances in state government colleges, aspirants are claiming domicile of multiple states.

While TOI has refrained from printing names and the exact NEET (National Eligibility cm Entrance Test) and state ranks of hundreds of these aspirants, the list of such dubious applicants has been provided to the state's Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER).

For instance, Ramesh Rai with a unique NEET rank also has an in-state rank in Maharashtra, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh. Then, there are some south Indian candidates who have applied in one state with their full names (first name and surname) and in some other states with their first name and their father's name as the second name; with one common NEET rank, it was not difficult for TOI to hunt them down.

Picture this: Mahi Iyengar on the Maharashtra list is Mahi Srinath on the Delhi list as also on the Uttar Pradesh state merit list; but her NEET rank of 63,000+ is common across these rank lists. Candidates are vying for state quota seats in multiples parts of India: Maharashtra, Goa, Gujarat, Telangana, MP, Karnataka, Delhi, Rajasthan and UP.

The blatantly unfair move translates into double the options for a fraudulent candidate who claims domicile of more than one state. It opens the doors of all government colleges and 85% seats of all private colleges of the states s/he claims domicile in. Moreover, this candidate, like others, can also apply under the 15% all-India quota filled by the DGHS and for the 85% seats in all deemed universities across India.

On the other hand, if the student follows the rules and has the domicile of one state, s/he would be categorized as an out-of-state candidate in all other states other than the one s/he has a domicile of, and would not have access to government medical colleges of other states or to the 85% seats in private colleges elsewhere either.

On Sunday evening, parents and students met Maharashtra medical education minister Girish Mahajan who assured them of corrective action. "We want to know how these students got multiple states' domicile. So now we are trying to link these NEET ranks with the students' Aadhaar cards," said Sudha Shenoy. With absolutely no coordination among states, most government officials were clueless about candidates applying for multiple in-state quota seats. It is the parents of medical aspirants who had to dig up this information after poring over pages of states' merit lists. "This puts so many genuine candidates across several states at a disadvantage," said Rajesh Jain, member of the Parents Association of Medical Students, Maharashtra.

To be a part of the state quota, Jain said, a student needs to have taken at least the class XII board exam for that specific state, if not both class X and XII. "These duplicate names on state lists prove the point we have been making right from the start: there are students who travel across India and sit for class XII exams in many states as external candidates," he added.
Mahajan told TOI that they have received several complaints and have asked the department to investigate each complaints. "We have received many complaints about multiple domicile holders and will be scrutinizing the state merit lists to find out such cases. Once the complaints are established we will recommend to the Centre to take action against such students," said Mahajan.

A meeting has been arranged with the officials of the department to get a clear picture of the irregularities and a decision will be taken accordingly, said Mahajan. He also said that rules will have to be revised to ensure that students coming to the state as external candidates are not misusing their status.

He also said that some parents have moved the Aurangabad bench against the loopholes in the NEET admissions, and the state will support the parents in their legal fight.

DMER head Dr Praveen Shingare has asked TOI to share the lists of other states' merit lists and the names of candidates who have claimed domicile in multiple states. "We will take corrective action and ensure that no genuine candidate of Maharashtra is at a loss because of this fraud," said Dr Shingare.
