Mumbai: Competition for postgraduate medical seats has just become intense.
The implementation of other 27% backward classes (OBC) and a 3% quota of economic weakness (EWS) in all-Indian seats has had a major impact on postgraduate seats for the academic year 2022.
Because the matrix of the seat was released by the medical counseling committee on Friday, student intake In the general category has seen 42% reduction, or 2,747 seats.
In 2021, the All-India quota had 6,556 places for open service students.
This year, the numbers dropped to 3,809.
In addition, what will make the acceptance process more difficult is that the general rules that are valid until last year will no longer be possible now: if certain branches in general medical schools have four seats, which will be 50% or two All-Indian quota ( AIQ), the open category candidate will now get the opportunity to join once in two years, because rotational reservations will be applied.
Previously, if each department has two seats in all-Indian quota, we ensure that one seat is available for open category candidates.
Another chair will be played between the categories ordered, only SC (scheduled caste) and ST (scheduled tribes) until last year.
Now, the general category candidate will get the opportunity once in two years, “said Dr.
Pravin Shingare, former Head of the Directorate of Medical Education and Research.
For example, at the BJ Government Medical College, Pune, there are no seats for the general category candidates who might want to pursue MD In physiology.
Of the two seats available, one opened for OBC and the other for St.
Waiting for the open category candidate just longer and even though there are scores, there will be no open space.
Some colleges have fewer chairs in branches Certain can not be able to offer a seat for the general category candidate this year.
“The candidate has a score but the chair has diminished.
The cut-off score will go some notches higher, “said Sudha Shenoy, a parental representative.
