Gujarat University meeting on PG medical admissions


A meeting of members of the medical faculty was held at the Gujarat University(GU) to decide the rules and regulations and basic framework on which the admissions in PG medical seats will be held this year. With NEET-PG held for the first time, the GU has to decide whether the admissions will be given strictly on the basis of the national admission test or the score of MBBS will be considered while preparing the merit list.
Pro Vice Chancellor of the GU Dr Mukul Shah said that the meeting of all the members of the medical committee was held and opinion of all the members was taken to finalize the framework of admissions in PG seats.

"The final decision on the PG admissions will be taken on Monday. After a consensual decision is arrived at the medical faculty, the opinion of the state government will also be taken on the matter", said Dr Shah.

Dean of the medical faculty Dr Kalpesh Shah said that a final decision was arrived at the meeting. While consensus has been sought, the final decision will be declared shortly. Meanwhile, members told TOI that there was general representation that considering majority colleges all over India are granting PG admissions on the basis of the NEET-PG score alone, the admissions here should also be granted without using the MBBS scores.

A number of students have already represented to the GU that the MBBS scores should not be considered for PG admissions.

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.
