Common entrance test for medical PG courses - UPA

New Delhi: To end the debate between the Centre and states over seat sharing, the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government is eager to introduce a new single common admission scheme for post graduate medical courses in India. UPA has reasoned that if the admission procedure for postgraduate medical courses is modeled after the common engineering entrance test, it would reveal a candidate's position in both the all India as well as the state quota. The student will therefore be able to recognize the specialty course for which they are suited and opt for the counselling session of the same for either the central or the state quota. The Supreme Court's permission was sought on Thursday by Solicitor General Gopal Subramanium regarding moving the application for the appropriate orders on the matter. It was agreed by a bench, headed by Justice R.V. Raveendran, that the states would be instructed to inform the Centre about the results of their first rounds of counselling on May 27. The bench also said that the Central quota seats that are vacant would not lapse until the second round of counselling takes place.
