MBBS Admission Crisis, More Than 50% Of Private Seats Vacant
As the third round of counselling comes to an end, more than 50% of MBBS seats and almost 85% of dental seats in these institutes are still vacant. Deemed universities and private colleges across the country are staring at a huge crisis of unfilled undergraduate medical seats through the new system of centralised counselling introduced under the Supreme Court’s orders this year.
The deemed universities and private colleges fear that a majority of their seats will remain unfilled as, under new rules, they will not be allowed to admit students on their own. However, the government institutions will get a chance to fill these seat as these will be transferred to the states.
A senior health ministry official said, “The Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), is conducting the counselling will seek legal opinion on how to resolve the crisis of unfilled seats. Otherwise, there is a possibility of up to 12,000 seats will remain unfilled.”
