NIN News Desk : The decision to increase the qualifying criteria by reducing the percentile is not new at all. A lot of candidates who take the exam do not qualify so students who don’t get any seats when the admission process is concluding will be willing to take the vacant ones if provided with an opportunity.

These experiments are done every year more or less even last year the qualifying percentile was made zero. Reducing the percentile creates a good loophole especially for private medical colleges to sell their seats for crores of rupees. During the process of counselling, some students block seats in clinical branches after a round but don’t join.

Thus leaving the seats vacant in subsequently but when the percentile is reduced, these seats that are in demand can be illegally sold to candidates with as little as 10 percentile for a hefty sum.It seeks to dispel any impression that Deemed Universities makes money by increasing the number of seats. It also needs to be investigated why non-clinical seats are not getting filled like before. Something needs to be done to provide better paying jobs to candidates of these branches so that they don’t lack jobs.

Even low payscale lead to worries about survival, which needs to be addressed.Article by Dr Subhrajyoti Chattopadhyay, Health Activist and eminent Doctor of West Bengal.
