NRI students not exempted |
The NRI students eyeing admission to MBBS and BDS courses against their specific quota in Punjab medical and dental colleges will not be exempted from the entrance exam, as proposed earlier. According to Medical education secretary the ordinance promulgated by the central government on conduct of National Eligibility-Cum-Entrance Test (NEET) is very clear that the state-level medical entrance test is allowed only for this year to fill the seats in government medical colleges and government quota seats in private medical colleges. Further, NEET will be applicable for management/private/NRI quota seats in private colleges and all India 15% central quota seats, meaning that there is no other way of getting admission and hence all NRI students will have to sit for state entrance exam and NEET to claim their respective quota seats in government and private medical/dental colleges.The central ordinance has been sent for legal scrutiny and fresh directions will be issued soon in this regard.
