The Medical Council of India (MCI) might hold common entrance test
for MBBS, BDS and other post-graduate medical courses from next year.
The proposal for common entrance test has got the consent of the council
and has been sent to Health Ministry for recommendations.
If the government approves the proposal, the common entrance may get implemented from the year 2016.
"MCI, in its general body meeting on October 1, has backed the proposal. As per the existing policy, every state government conduct their own entrance test. Private medical college associations and deemed universities also conduct their own CET. And an aspiring candidate appears in all the exams.
"But here under the proposal, there will be a common entrance test for all medical aspirants from across the country and would be of great help to the students," said a senior Health Ministry official.
