‘NEET will give students access to more seats’

Introduction of National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), would only benefit the state students by giving them access to admission in national-level institutions and also to seats available under the all-India quota, Medical Education Minister S A Ramdas said.

“The students who would face NEET UG, need not to attend other competitive examinations for seeking admissions into various other private institutions including that of COMED-K in the state,” he told reporters.

By appearing for NEET, the students in Karnataka would be awarded national-level ranking by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). And with this ranking they would also be eligible to seek admissions in national institutions, except All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi and Jawaharlal Institute of PG Medical education and Research in Puducherry.

He said that the notification for NEET UG courses would be issued by the CBSE shortly.

It will also helps the state students to garner more number of seats available from the all-India quota of 15 per cent, he said.

Informing that the mandate of the CBSE is only to prepare question papers and award both national and state-level rankings, the minister said that the rest of the tasks would be assigned to the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) including seat allocation as per the reservation policy of the state.

While admitting that there are gaps to be bridged as for as the curriculum between CBSE and state syllabus are concerned, Ramdas said that to overcome this, instructions have been given to KEA to go ahead through TV channel teaching, website programming, hold mock test and utilising the services of expert teachers. “Over 160 hours of coaching would be provided by expert teachers,” he said.

Informing that many of the students in Karnataka are rural-based and are studying in Kannada medium, he said that he has written a letter to the chairman of CBSE, appealing him to maintain the CET standard of questions for NEET next year. “I have also appealed the CBSE to provide Kannada version question paper of NEET 2013,” the minister added.

Informing that the CBSE has identified three centres, Bangalore, Mangalore and Hubli to conduct UG exams, the minister said that and he has also appealed CBSE board to increase the number of centres from three to seven at Mysore, Gulbarga, Belgaum and Shimoga.

He said that as many as 87,000 students among the 1,26,000 are expected to attend the NEET-2013 from over 700 pre-university science colleges in the state. “All supports will be given to the students especially the rural students to face NEET 2013,” the minister assured.

He also informed that the government would offer a walk-in-interview to fill 181 seats, including 33 in government colleges teaching Ayurveda, Unani, Naturopathy and Yoga which remained vacant during 2012-13 counseling in the state. “Shortly, a notification would be issued on the matter” he said.

HC rejects PIL demanding deferment of JEE

AHMEDABAD: The engineering degree aspirants will have to take the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) this time as Gujarat high court on Tuesday rejected a public interest litigation (PIL) which had sought deferment of its introduction from this year.

The PIL had sought directions to the state government that it should defer its decision of offering the mandatory JEE to 2014, and it should not start from this academic year.

The government had earlier declared that all those who clear the board examination in science stream and aspire to take admission in engineering courses must take JEE, which is a common entrance test for majority of engineering institutes of prime importance.

An association - Vidhyarthi Hit Rakshak Samiti - had moved the court saying that the government decision could harm the future of nearly 1.7 lakh students, who may pass the board examination in 2013.

The petitioner also claimed that the students may not find enough time to prepare for JEE, for the study material is not available in Gujarati yet. Besides, there is a difference in the syllabuses offered for JEE and for Gujarat Common Entrance Test (GUJCET), which is mandatory for the students to take after clearing the board exams, the petitioner submitted.

In a rebuttal, the government said that there is not much difference in the syllabuses and the decision to introduce JEE has been taken with a view to uplifting the standard of education to what is required for the premier technical institutes.

The petitioner's lawyer submitted during the hearing that the state government has taken dual stand over the issue of entrance examinations, as in a similar litigation pending before the Supreme Court (SC) questioning mandatory National Eligibility and Entrance Test (NEET) for admission in UG medical courses, the government opposes introduction of the test at this juncture.

After conclusion of hearing, the division bench of Chief Justice Bhaskar Bhattacharya and Justice J B Pardiwala upheld the state government's contention. It observed that the students should not be having problems because the syllabus for both the tests is the same.

The judges also criticized the request for deferment saying that advertisements in this regard were published in August last year. Besides, when there is no level field, how the ratio of 80:20 for intake of admission of students from Gujarat and outside can be maintained. The court further observed that if students' demands are accepted, there would be chaos at the time of admission. The HC also maintained that court should not interfere in educational policy.
