Private medical colleges to follow MCI admission rules says Kolkata HC

Kolkata: The Calcutta High Court asked private medical colleges in West Bengal to follow MCI's guidelines on admission of students under management quota.

Hearing a petition filed by an unsuccessful candidate, the court said all four private medical colleges should follow the new guidelines framed by the MCI, which says selection of students under management quota should be done under a centralised counselling mechanism by the state government.

So far, the colleges were doing the selection process on their own.

The court also asked the colleges to complete the counselling process by September 30.
