About CMAT 2023

A national-level entrance exam for management programme admission in the nation is called the Common Management Admission Test (CMAT). The National Testing Agency (NTA) will administer the CMAT-2023.

Jaunpur: The National Medical Commission (NMC) has accepted the renewal of the licence for Jaunpur Medical College, which is excellent news for Uttar Pradesh’s medical aspirants. When District Magistrate Manish Kumar Verma and Superintendent of Police Dr. Ajay Pal showed up at the college for a random check, Professor (Dr.) Shiv Kumar, the Medical College’s principal, notified them of this knowledge.

Dr. Shiv Kumar said that the third MBBS batch’s enrollment has been allowed by NMC, the top regulating organisation for medical training.

The state government oversees the operation of the Uma Nath Singh Autonomous State Medical College, formerly known as Government Medical College, Jaunpur, which is situated in the Uttar Pradesh district of Jaunpur.

According to previous reports, the National Medical Commission (NMC) approved the medical college in Jaunpur in 2021. Inaugurating GMC Jaunpur in 2021, along with eight other medical schools, was Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

According to a recent media report by Live Hindustan, the institute’s principal, Dr. Shiv Kumar, assured DM Verma and SP Dr. Ajay Pal during their unexpected visit that the NMC had approved the admission of the third MBBS batch.

DM Verma also gave instructions for finishing the work of the hospital building for 150 beds, along with OT, incomplete construction works of the administrative building, the pathology department, and the community medicine department located on the fourth floor of the academic building, during the inspection.

Dr. Shivkumar reported that the Commission instructed the Commission during the on-site inspection by NMC on February 13, 2023, that the institute needs one 250-seat examination hall, one 250 seat seminar room, housing for senior/junior residents on the campus, housing for 300 students in the girls’ and boys’ hostels, along with type-2(A), type-2(D), an intern hostel with 50 beds, and compliance with the NMC standard. Also, it’s crucial to finish building the college’s exterior wall and main road.

Taking notice of everything, the District Magistrate gave the college’s executive body severe directions for finishing the aforementioned building projects. He also stated that the projects should be finished as soon as possible in accordance with NMC standards. The District Magistrate and the Superintendent of Police also spoke with the 100 medical students in LT Hall 01, and after learning about their issues, they gave the appropriate authorities instructions. Also, they inquired about the kids’ administrative, educational, and social experiences.

Chandigarh: The Health, Medical Education, and Research Minister, Dr. Balbir Singh, clarified before the State Assembly that newly graduated specialist doctors will offer their services in the government hospitals after completing the postgraduate medical courses. He was referring to the state’s shortage of specialists.

The state’s health minister further emphasised how the previous administration failed to ensure that PG medical graduates from government medical colleges offered their services to government-run hospitals for a period of time and that the bond penalty amount was not collected from them.

The Health Minister also revealed that from 2020 until the present, a total of 701 MD graduates had worked in government institutions after sharing statistics on medical students who received their MD and MBBS degrees.

The State Health Minister also disclosed that 57 doctors had to pay back Rs 6,47,17140 for failing to provide services to the government.

The Health Minister made these pronouncements at a time when some hospitals in the state are experiencing a speciality doctor shortage. Of the 119 authorised positions, 50 vacancies in Phagwara civil hospitals were previously reported by Medical Dialogues. In the instance of the doctor positions, 14 of the 36 authorised positions remained unfilled.

A lack of specialised physicians was also present at Nakodar Civil Hospital in Punjab, where open positions included those for a surgeon, an ENT specialist, a radiology expert, an anaesthetist, a pathologist, and two medical officer positions.

According to the most recent media report by Amar Ujala, the Health Minister acknowledged that there is a shortage of health providers in various hospitals throughout the province and stated that the government is compiling information on the hospitals in every area during the question period in the House on Monday during the Punjab Legislative Assembly’s budget session. He added that doctors would soon be hired for all government hospitals in accordance with their needs.

The Health Minister also told the House that 380 students finish their post-graduate medical studies each year. These PG medical graduates sign the bond at the time of admission, but they don’t follow the terms of the bond; thus, after receiving their degree, they go to private hospitals. In reference to this, Dinesh Chadha, an AAP MLA from Ropar, highlighted how, in the previous ten years, the government authorities had failed to ensure that the PG medical graduates from the state’s government medical colleges provided their services to government-run hospitals for a short period of time. He further said that the state should take action against the government officials who helped these doctors transfer to private hospitals and receive lucrative salaries.

The Health Minister was quoted by Indian Express as saying, “In reference to the fact that the PG medical graduates must serve the government for two years or pay Rs 15 lakh, the previous administrations failed to ensure that these doctors performed their services in state-run hospitals and failed to collect the money owed to them. Negligence in a criminal matter “From 57 doctors who did not work for the government, we have recovered Rs 6.47 crore, and we will continue to recover money from other doctors as well.”

According to The Times of India, the minister promised that the AAP government will make sure that there is never a shortage of specialists in the state. In order to address the physician shortage, he further guaranteed that these expert doctors would provide their services at government hospitals after completing their postgraduate medical training. He continued by pointing out that not a single medical college had opened in the state in the previous 40 years, but that the state government was now building four such institutions.

The Congress MLA Amarinder Singh Raja Warding, meanwhile, made reference to the lack of a doctor at the government hospital in Gidderbaha and emphasised that the facility had seven approved doctor roles. The Health Minister took note of this and promised that he would demonstrate the situation so that doctors would soon be hired at the hospital.

An increase has been seen in the average package for the CE department IIT-Mandi — from Rs 7.83 LPA (2018) to Rs 11.43 LPA (2022).

About IIT Mandi

In 2009, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi was founded. The first batch of IIT Mandi students was admitted in July 2009, and classes began for them on July 27, 2009. Around 1900+ students are currently enrolled in the institute, studying in a range of engineering, scientific, humanities, and social science fields. The institution’s 1552-member, highly qualified faculty teaches 37 different courses to its pupils.

Given the foundation’s recent establishment, it has consistently scored admirably in the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) rankings. The institute rose significantly in the NIRF 2022 rankings for the leading engineering colleges after slipping to 41st place in 2021 and falling to 31st place in 2020.

Chandigarh: The Punjab administration has announced that 4 new medical institutions will be opened at various places throughout the state, which is fantastic news for the state’s medical aspirants. These four new medical schools will open in Malerkotla, Kapurthala, Hoshiarpur, and Mastuana Sahib (Sangrur). On March 3, the first day of the budget formulation phase, Governor Banwarilal Purohit gave the address.

Purohit spoke about a number of measures for various industries, as well as the advancement of clinical school and the state’s health sector. The four medical colleges, according to him, would be founded soon. The Center would also help improve the institutions in Hoshiarpur and Kapurthala, and will set up the college in Malerkotla under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Vikas Karyakram.

Moreover, a clinical college with 100 MBBS seats would be created at Mastuana Sahib. In reality, there has been a significant increase in the amount of clinical seats at the Public Medical Colleges in Amritsar and Patiala, going from 150 to 200. Based on a media source in The Tribune, Purohit stated that 504 Aam Aadmi Clinics had been established to offer quality medical care to the general public and that Punjab had 99.24% institutional deliveries according to statistics from the Health Management Information System.

New Delhi In considering the fact that more than 900 super-speciality seats remain vacant even after the NEET SS Mop-up round, doctors working under the alliance of the Federation of Resident Doctors’ Association (FORDA) recently urged the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) to hold another mop-up round to fill the open positions.

FORDA noted in a letter to the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) that NEET SS seats are a national asset and should not be left empty. The group then requested the DGHS carry out a second mop-up round “in the wider interest of students and citizens who stand to benefit much from having more super-speciality doctors in the country.”

According to Dr. Sarvesh Pandey, General Secretary of FORDA, some students contacted the Supreme Court and requested permission to vacate seats. Other students have now submitted identical petitions after the Supreme Court granted their requests, and some other students have also requested the same from the court.

Those seats should be included in the mop-up round as well, according to the Supreme Court. In India, there is one super-speciality doctor for every 4000 patients. So, we want these seats to be occupied and not be later added.

Dr. Pandey provided additional information about the 900 seats that are currently unfilled, stating that the majority of them are held by private institutions, but some are also held by the government.

Given that more than 1,000 seats were vacant, FORDA has encouraged the authorities to perform a mop-up round. Prior to this, Medical Dialogues claimed that the organisation had made reference to the fact that more than 1000 super speciality seats remained vacant even after Rounds 1 and 2 of NEET SS 2022 Counselling were over.

In this regard, FORDA has written to the DGHS, operating under the Union Health Ministry, and pointed out that the wastage of seats is a “major academic and healthcare loss.”

In a recent letter, the association made reference to this by writing, “As you are aware, the NEET exam was given last year, and two counselling rounds were held to fill up the available seats. And even after these two rounds, almost 1500 seats were still unfilled.

“In this regard, we had previously contacted your reputable office and the Medical Counseling Committee (MCC) to ask them to carry out a mop-up round to fill these open seats. “Then, a notification to hold a mop-up round was released in February, and the qualification cut-off was also lowered,” said the letter in more detail.

 The group drew attention to the fact that in February, a bench of the Supreme Court had permitted a few candidates who had been given seats in the first two rounds to renounce those seats and withdraw from the counselling process. As a result, the authorities announced that they will also include those seats in the mop-up round on February 14, 2023.

“Despite these efforts, there are still about 500+, or about 900 according to our data, open seats. In addition, many students have filed lead petitions in the hopes of receiving similar relief “FORDA cited in the DGHS’s most recent letter (“FORDA”).

FORDA requested the DGHS take notice of the situation and find a cooperative solution, reiterating that NEET SS seats are a national asset and should not be vacant.

The association has recommended that another mop-up round be taken into consideration for the greater good of the students and citizenry, who stand to gain much from having more super-speciality doctors in the nation.

“Furthermore, we humbly urge that the seats that were allocated to candidates but were not filled by them be included in this mop-up round to increase the pool of available seats in an effort to reduce seat waste. If they decide not to continue with it, your esteemed office may start a procedure to allow them to resign their seat,” the letter went on to say.

The average salary package offered to applicants at the top IIMs is between INR 20 and 25 lakh per year, while pay packages at the more recent IIMs range between INR 10 and 20 lakh per year.

After the winter vacation, Afghan academic institutions resumed on Monday, but only men went back to university because the Taliban’s prohibition on women attending higher education continues to be in effect.

Since the Taliban retook control in August’21, numerous limitations have been placed on women, and the university restriction is just one of them. This has caused an uproar around the world. Rahela, 22, from the central province of Ghor, described how it was distressing to see males attending college while she and her family had to stay at home.

“We are being discriminated against because we can pursue higher learning thanks to Islam. We shouldn’t let anyone stop us from learning.”

The Taliban regime issued the restriction after charging female students with disobeying rigid attire and a condition to be escorted to and from the university by a male guardian.

The majority of colleges and universities had already implemented gender-specific entrances and classrooms, permitting only female professors or senior men to tutor female students.

Women have the fundamental right to receive a college education, according to Kabul University engineering student Ejatullah Nejati. “It’s not a problem even if they take lessons on separate days.” “They should be granted their privilege of attending school because they have one,” he argued.

The Taliban administration intended for women to continue to be illiterate, according to Waheeda Durrani, a journalism student in Herat until she was expelled last year. “Girls and women who receive an education will never tolerate a government that takes advantage of Islam and the Koran,” the speaker asserted.

In the hallways of the institution, there were still posters from the days before the ban that illustrated proper attire for women.

Some Taliban leaders claim the prohibition on women attending school is just temporary, but they haven’t succeeded in reopening the secondary schools for females that have been shut down for more than a year.

Patna.CM Nitish Kumar, of Bihar, presided over an important cabinet meeting on Monday. The meeting has a total of 16 agendas that have been stamped. Despite the local media’s optimism, no suggestion for the teacher’s manual was presented at the meeting today, either. Among the measures that were agreed upon at the cabinet meeting held today is the purchase of the Darbhanga AIIMS land. The proposal to donate land for Bihar’s second AIIMS in Sobhan in Darbhanga has been granted approval by the state cabinet. The request to provide land for the Banka bypass was also authorised during this crucial discussion, which happened in the secretariat at 6 p.m. following the Bihar Vidhansabha’s budget session.

AIIMS received 150 acres of land in Darbhanga.

The proposal to offer Darbhanga AIIMS 150 acres of land was approved in the cabinet meeting presided over by Nitish Kumar. The state government of Darbhanga would donate 150 acres of land in Sobhan free of charge to the federal government for the Darbhanga AIIMS for a second AIIMS in Bihar. The central government has long demanded land; the Darbhanga Medical College Hospital site was originally suggested by the state government for this, but the central government raised concerns about the numerous issues on that land. The state government then gave the AIIMS in Darbhanga this additional space.  

Amarpur bypass Aprroved

CM has offered the people of Banka and Darbhanga the gift of Holi at Banka. The state cabinet today approved the proposal for the Amarpur bypass in Banka, satisfying a long-standing demand. At a cost of 74.24 crores, the construction of about 7.52-km-long bypass has been cleared.
