If four rounds of counselling are held, T.N. will stand to lose at least 100 to 150 PG seats, they say
The Union Health Ministry’s decision to conduct four rounds of counselling for 15% of All India Quota (AIQ) MBBS/BDS seats and 50% post-graduates seats (MS/MD/MDS) would usurp the rights of States, the Service Doctors and Post Graduates’ Association has said.
In a statement issued, the association president, P. Saminathan, said that as per an announcement from the Union Health Ministry on December 18, the Medical Counselling Committee would conduct four rounds of counselling for admission to AIQ seats. Till now, only two rounds of counselling had been held.
The event will run daily from 10 a.m. to 8.30 p.m., offering a variety of activities. Visitors can enjoy dance and music performances, hands-on art experiences, film screenings, and exhibitions from 10.30 a.m. to 6.30 p.m. These will feature folk cuisines, leather puppets, philately, textiles, and handicrafts.
