  • Medicine Common Entrance Test From Next Year

    New Delhi, June 29: Favouring a common entrance test for undergraduate and post-graduate courses in medical colleges across the country, the newly-constituted board of governors of MCI on Tuesday said it has approached the CBSE to work out modalities for introduction of the system from 2011.

    The board, which was reconstituted after dissolution of the corruption-hit Medical Council of India, has approached medical colleges with the proposal which have agreed to it.

    ?We hope to have a common entrance test…Next time we meet, we will be able to announce the dates also,? S.K. Sarin, head of the board, said.

    He said a single entrance test would substantially reduce the stress level of the students, who, under the current system, have to sit for seven tests for getting admission in medical colleges.

    The board has already approached the CBSE to formulate the details for conducting such a test, replacing all other exams that are conducted for admission into government as well private medical colleges in the country.

    ?We have already contacted the CBSE. It will decide how to go about it, including the syllabus. The test will cover all government, private and even minority institutions,? Sarin said.

    Admission tests are conducted yearly for nearly 32,000 undergraduate seats and 13,000 post graduate seats in medical colleges across the country.

    ?This will ensure that the students are not stressed out. Under the current system, they have appear in more than seven entrance tests for getting admission. After the new system is introduced, the students will have to appear in only one test,? said Devi Shetty, one of the members of the Board.

  • Don?t use Engineering lecturers for two shifts, orders HC

    Sept. 23: Justice Nooty Ramamohana Rao of the AP High Court on Thursday made it clear to the engineering colleges that teaching faculty should not be used for two shifts in day.

    The judge was dealing with a petition filed by Vidya Jyothi Educational Society, represented by its secretary, Mr V. Purushottam Reddy, challenging the action of the JNTU in not granting the affiliation to run second shift in Vidya Jyothi Institute of Technology. The petitioner brought to the notice of the court that the AICTE granted permission to them to run second shift in their institution and contended that the action of the JNTU was illegal and unconstitutional

    The petitioner sought an interim direction from the court to directing the respondents to fill up the seats to the second shift in their institution by including the second shift seats in the counseling being conducted for admissions to the academic year 2010-2011.

    The judge ruled that if a particular faculty member was assigned teaching or research or training filed work to be attended to in one shift on a particular day, he should not be entrusted with similar kind of duties in the second shift on the same day. The judge directed the authorities to take steps to admit the students in petitioner?s institution as per the quota sanctioned by the AICTE.

    Writ filed against judge?s resignation

    A writ petition was filed in the AP High Court on Thursday challenging the withdrawal of the resignation of Justice CV Nagarjuna Reddy. It may be mentioned that Justice Reddy on September 16 offered to quit from his post after he was pained by violent acts of some advocates in the High Court. He withdrew his decision on September 18.

    Mr R. Chandrashekar Reddy, a practicing advocate, filed a petition contending that Article 217 of Constitution does not give right to withdraw resignation. He told the court that once the resignation was submitted by a judge in accordance with procedure prescribed in Constitution, the right to withdraw it cannot be implied.

    He further contended that in the absence of constitutional provision warranting the course, it could not be withdrawn or revoked, the resignation is effective; such resignation to be effective does not require acceptance by the President.

    The petitioner sought a direction from the court to direct the judge not to discharge his judicial work.
