NEW DELHI: Common counselling will be provided at the state-level for admission in medical courses, a move aimed at bringing transparency and curbing the practice of capitation fee charged by private colleges, the health ministry today said.
As per amendments made in Medical Council of India regulations, the designated authority will conduct common counselling for all medical education institutions established either by central or state Government, university, deemed university, trust, society, company, minority Institutions or the corporation.
“In a landmark decision, following the introduction of single medical entrance exam in the country, the Health Ministry has now made provision for common counselling at the state-level for admission to medical courses at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels,” an official statement said.
With this provision, students would not have to apply to multiple agencies for admission in the same state. (AGENCIES)
