Puducherry: Students allotted postgraduate medical and dental seats in government and private colleges by the Centralized Admission Committee (Centac), have been directed to join their respective colleges before 3.30pm on April 20, after submitting the fee fixed by the government to the committee’s account.

Centac co-ordinator (admission) Rudra Goud informed that the fee collected by the committee from the candidates will be transferred to the concerned colleges. He revealed that a grievance officer (Nilamani) had been appointed by the Directorate of Health and Family Welfare Services so that candidates facing difficulties in the admission process may seek the officer’s guidance. His mobile number is 93454 54505.

Goud also informed that an aspirant who had been allocated a seat during the ist round of counselling, was free to go through the 2^nd round as well for better options. In the same way, if a second round qualifier wanted to participate in a mop-up round, he could do so by paying Rs 25,000 (half for SC/ST/OBC) for a government college and Rs 2 lakh for a self-financing college as fees. This sum would be retrievable if he failed to get admissions.
