Medical admissions: a confusing disease.
It is strictly for admission to undergraduate medical courses. (i) 50% of seats should be reserved for local candidate on merit of HSC, with academic year starting after the HSC results. (ii) 20% of seats should be reserved for candidates coming from rural areas, on the basis of merit at HSC, with academic year starting after HSC results. (iii) 30% of seats to be filled by an all-India competitive examination. The academic year to start 6 months after the HSC results. A ceiling of minimum number of marks and a minimum number of attempts for eligibility to the all-India PMT would make the conduct of such an examination more practical.
