New Delhi: Medical Council of India told the Supreme Court on Thursday that it had found several private medical colleges admitting students in post-graduation courses beyond the 50% management quota and encroaching into the state government's share.
MCI's counsel Amarendra Saran told a vacation bench of Justices P Sathasivam and A K Patnaik that it was pure abuse of the process, as the management of private medical colleges could not indulge in profiteering on the seats reserved for meritorious students clearing the common entrance test conducted by the state government.
Saran further added that MCI has a right to discharge those students who have been admitted in excess of the quota and that he is making a statement that they will be discharged.
He also said that MCI would discharge students admitted under management quota in excess of the 50% cap and no one should be permitted to claim equity on the ground that he/she had completed studies for six months.
While dealing with two petitions filed by Kerala and Karnataka private medical college associations, the bench expressed its annoyance over the mess in admissions process created by private medical colleges despite the court earlier fixing dates for completion of intake of students.
The bench recorded that MCI was free to take action against erring private medical colleges as per its rules and regulations. There are around 13,000 post-graduation seats which are filled under common entrance test.
The bench raised a question saying- why these private colleges mess up things every year? They also added that their experience with private institutions, particularly medical colleges, is extremely bad.
