The notice that was issued by Medical Council of India to various medical colleges in Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu to cancel the admission of over 500 students claimed that these students did not appear for NEET examination in the year 2016. The notice from MCI shattered the dreams of the students who were left shocked after receiving the notice.
Surprisingly, most of these students had an excellent NEET 2016 record. However, MCI suspected that these admissions were given to students by collecting a heavy capitation fee. These students have been under stress as their career has become uncertain.

The parents of the affected students also claimed that they have the supporting documents, which indicate that no capitation fee was collected by colleges at the time of admission.
Chairperson of Sankalp Charitable Trust, Dr. Gulshan Garg clarified that all the students who received a notice to vacate their seats qualified in NEET and took part in the counselling process conducted by the state. However, the Director General of Medical Education showed his irregularity in compiling the students’ record and missed the names of 481 students in the list.

The Chairman of Monitoring Committee of Medical Council of India did not agree with Mr. Garg and clarified that the council could not allow the colleges to evade the admission process and both students and colleges breached the law. Further, all these admissions were termed as a backdoor entry.
Mr. Garg further pointed that NEET was implemented for the first time in the year 2016 when the counselling process was not streamlined. Therefore, the students should not be victimized if the colleges conducted admissions directly.
Neither the officials of Directorate of Medical Education nor MCI were available to comment on the issue.
