Students practice hard to crack the entrance exams to get into one of the preferred colleges of their choice but the saddening part is 30 per cent of the post graduate medical seats have remained unrecognised in government medical colleges since 2013. The matter came into notice when the Medical Council of India (MCI) gave a few seats to some students, which were not legalised.
President of Kerala Government Medical College Teachers Association speaks:
According to a report in The Hindu, the president of Kerala Government Medical College Teachers Association, K. Mohanan gave the following information:
''80 per cent of the vacancies were at the entry and middle level''
"The MCI had brought in the stipulation of publishing original papers in 2014 for promotions"
"Before the new rule, ones who are making salaries at the professor level, they should not be penalised"
"There are departments where professors are even without a chair and table, less to talk of publications or other facilities"
On the contrary, Director of Medical Education Ramla Beevi said, "No PG seat had been lost, the fact remains that 208 doctors completing postgraduate courses in a year cannot register their additional qualification as the course remains unrecognised."
From this year, the government will hold the National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET) Phase 2 for the undergraduate students for admissions to MBBS/BDS courses in the session. The exam is scheduled to be held on July 24.
