The Directorate of Medical Education (DME) has been asked to ensure that top-scorers in National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test 2023, in the State get seats from the central pool during counselling.
The appeal, from a student organisation, has urged the DME to identify top-scorers and guide them in getting admission through the 15% of the MBBS seats, surrendered to the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) for all-India counselling.
The State has 36 medical colleges, with each of them admitting at least 100 students every year. Some of the older colleges admit 250 students. From each of the college, 15% of the seats are surrendered to the DGHS, which conducts counselling. These seats are open to students from across the country.
