Medical students likely to get direct admission to PG courses

Mumbai: Medical students willing to pursue post-graduate courses likely to get admission to PG courses on the basis of marks secured by them, as the Department of Medical Education and Research (DMER) has proposed to remove entrance test conducted to admission for post-graduate course.

"We are planning to offer admission to PG courses on the basis of marks secured by a student and the proposal is likely to be approved by the state government," said a DMER official

As per the regulations of Medical Council of India (MCI) students can be admitted to post-graduate courses on the basis of an entrance exam conducted by the central government or the state government or on the basis of the MBBS aggregate if a particular state has one medical university.

Currently PG courses are offered by 10 government colleges in Maharashtra and three civic colleges in Mumbai, in which admissions are offered on the basis of entrance examination.

"The State Government will soon take a decision regarding this issue proposed by the DMER," said Rajesh Tope, Medical education minister, Maharashtra.

"We will soon inform fourth-year students that their final-year marks will be considered for admission to PG courses. Third-year students can be informed that aggregate marks of their third and fourth years will be considered when it's time for them to join the PG course and so on, as the State Government is likely to go ahead with this proposal from the coming year," added DMER official.
