Quite a few candidates at the medical counselling on Thursday had qualified the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test in their first attempt. Some had prepared for the test on their own.
On the first day of counselling for special categories, including the wards of ex-service personnel, eminent sportspersons and persons with disabilities, 88 seats were allotted. Of the 91 candidates called for counselling, as many as 71 were allotted MBBS seats and two opted for BDS. While 12 candidates chose to be wait-listed, three opted out. Another three candidates were absent. A few candidates with disabilities were hoping for a seat under the All India Quota in the college of their choice.
