  • MCI tries to end NEET stand-off.

    The Medical Council of India has initiated steps to break the deadlock over conducting the national common entrance exam for MBBS admissions from this year. The state government had objected to the ‘National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test, saying that thousands of students pursuing Intermediate courses in Telugu medium would be at a loss if NEET is held only in English and Hindi.

    An MCI team will meet officials of medical education department on Saturday to discuss the issue and clear the doubts about NEET. The team will also meet minister for medical and health D.L. Ravindra Reddy. The state government feels that Eamcet for medical seats should not be replaced by NEET this year as the students have not got enough time to prepare for the new format. However, MCI claims that the NEET syllabus was posted on its website in July and it had also sought feedback nationally from all the stakeholders. The MCI made it clear that it will separately release state-wise and national-wise merit lists, and the states can conduct admissions on their own by following the merit lists and implementing their own reservation matrix.

  • No regulator to filter fraud IT companies.

    While Andhra Pradesh boasts of being a major information technology hub, competing closely with Bengaluru, its IT sector, of late, has been plagued by sham companies. There have been four cases of fraud registered by the police in the last two months, the latest being of Teleonto Techno-logies Private Limited, an IT company operating out of Gachibowli. There is no regulatory authority in place to filter out the fly-by-night companies. Although the Software Technology Parks of India is responsible for clearing registration of companies, it mainly plays the role of promoter, not regulator.

    “There is no regulatory authority that can take action against such companies or filter out the fraud companies. STPI has the power to accept registration of companies, but most of the fraud companies do not even apply for registration and start operating from any address,” indicated a member of Nasscom.
    Many fraudulent companies try to seek business opportunities under government schemes on the basis of the number of people employed. They take money from potential employees as a deposit or training fee and once they have collected a reasonable amount, they just vanish. In fact, it is pretty easy to float an IT company — all you have to do is show an office address. There are enough people eager to land an IT job without looking too closely at a company’s credentials.
