The Karnataka High Court on Wednesday quashed and set aside the order of a single judge upholding the Medical Council of India (MCI) norms on eligibility of candidates to medical courses and allowed the admission of 237 medical students for the current academic year. The court ordered that candidates, who have already been admitted to the first year MBBS course by the Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell under the management quota, could not be denied admission by the colleges. Consequently, it quashed the circular of June 24, 2005 of the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) to the colleges not to admit students who had secured less than 50 per cent in the qualifying examination.
A single judge on August 17 said that 237 first year medical students have not met the eligibility norms of the MCI and directed the RGUHS and the colleges to refund immediately the fees of such students.
Disposing of the writs appeals by the State Government, the CET Cell and several students against the single judge order, a Division Bench comprising Justice B. Padmaraj and Justice V. Jagannathan held that MCI regulations will be applicable to candidates taking the entrance test conducted by the Consortium of Medical, Engineering and Dental Colleges of Karnataka (COMED-K) and that the Karnataka Rules will apply for candidates appearing for the CET Test conducted by the CET Cell.
The Bench said both the MCI and Karnataka rules could co-exist in their own spheres and can be operative in their own spheres for this year.
The Bench said the MCI regulations overlooked the fact that the students admitted under Non-resident Indian (NRI) quota did not even take the entrance test.
In their case, the regulations are given a go-by.
Moreover, the MCI regulations would be effective only when there is a single entrance examination conducted by an independent agency. Therefore, till a common test is conducted to determine a uniform evaluation of merit, the MCI regulations may not be applicable.
