Parents protest entrance for medical admissions

The government, he said, should have informed students of the entrance exams much before the HSC exams, as students were banking on results of the HSC exams. Another parent said the students are not aware of the nature of questions in the CEE and aren8217;t well-versed with the multiple choice pattern. The CEE, she felt, would benefit the Bachelors of Science students who are also eligible for entrance.

Since the review petition filed by thestate government before the Supreme Court has been adjourned to July, the parents said, it would be too late to wait. They suggested the apex court8217;s vacation bench should be approached and a stay on the CEE obtained. Some parents were also in favour of approaching the state government. One parent termed the government8217;s notification unclear. He pointed out that while Health Minister Dr Daulatrao Aher announced equal emphasis would be given to both HSC and entrance exams for admissions to medical colleges, the notification made no mention about the marks secured by students in HSC examinations.
