Private medical colleges enrolled unqualified candidates under management quota

It is almost a month that the MBBS admission to self-financing medical colleges has been closed, only four colleges have submitted the complete list of students they have enrolled in the 35% management quota seats to the admission supervisory committee (ASC).

The ASC is now thinking to get the admission list from the university and check if the students admitted in the management quota are from the merit list prepared by them. Among the eight self-financing medical colleges, only the Sree Narayana Institute of Medical Science, and DM Wayanad Institute of Medical Science have submitted the list to the ASC. The admissions were done on 30th September, 2013.

ASC chairman Justice J M James, said, “We are in the process of studying the list submitted by the four colleges and have also called for the list submitted by the colleges to the Kerala University of Health Sciences (KUHS) to compare.”

These self-financing colleges are affiliated to KUHS, these colleges need to submit the list of students in their rolls to the university for registration. ASC source said, “The students can write the exam only after their names are registered with the university.”

The ASC had asked these self-financing medical colleges to submit the list of all students admitted under different categories-general category management quota (35%) and NRI quota (15%). This step was taken because ASC’ noticed that some students admitted under the management quota were not in the list of qualified candidates prepared by the committee.

It was found that MES Medical College and Gokulam Medical College had enrolled three students which were not marked in the list of qualified students and in KMCT Medical College there were nearly 12 such students have been enrolled. The committee also found that the list submitted by five other colleges was incomplete. The committee had then disqualified the admission of candidates whose names were not mentioned in the list of 408 qualified candidates prepared by the committee.
