IPU to accept NEET scores for medical courses


Aspirants planning to apply for MBBS, BDSand PG medical courses at Delhi's Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) will now be selected on the basis of a nationalentrance test.
The Delhi government has decided - following a request by the Central government's ministry of health - that MBBS, BDS and PG medical applicants would be filtered in through the new National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET).
So, those vying for seats in Vardhman Mahavir Medical College, thePostgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, RML Hospital; and the ESIC Dental College and Hospital now need give the university their NEET scores along with the NEET registration number.
On May 5, 2013 (on May 18 in Karnataka due to state elections), theCentral Board of Secondary Education is going hold the first NEET-undergraduate for MBBS and BDS seats in all medical and dental colleges countrywide approved by the Medical Council of India and the Dental Council of India, respectively. NEET-PG 2013 has already been conducted by the National Board of Examinations in 2012.
The university, however, will continue to take on candidates for the BHMS and superspeciality programmes through its own entrance test.

Why DNB exam tougher than MS/MD exam?

Guest article by Dr Kalyan R Kone   There were 6 people (accompanied by their relatives) sitting in the small waiting room outside the ward waiting for their call inside. They looked battered, tense and had such a depressed look in their eyes that even Shylock would have sympathized with them. They had cleared their DNB (Diplomate of National Board) theory exam and were making last minute preparations for their practical exam. If I were not told that they were all Doctors, I would have thought that they were all waiting for their turn to see a psychiatrist. Dr Kalyan R Kone Five out of six of those waiting doctors were appearing for the second or third time. In spite of that, they didn’t know what would be in store for them except one thing — only one or two would pass out of the six candidates.
