India’s education ministry has reported that the number of students travelling overseas for higher studies has experienced an increase of 68% between 2021 and 2022. Specifically, in 2022, 750,365 students left the country for further studies, compared to 444,553 in 2021. Over the last few years, a total of 30 lakh Indians have gone abroad for higher studies, which is a substantial sum of money that could have been spent on India’s own education budget.

In response, Subhash Sarkar, the junior education minister, stated that the government has no plans to establish an “international university of the higher standard” in order to save these funds. Due to stakeholders’ requests, the University Grants Commission has extended the deadline for the draft regulations for setting up and operating the campuses of foreign higher educational institutions in India.

Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal, has expressed his disappointment at the number of Indians travelling overseas for education, emphasizing that India should have developed the capacity to attract students from other countries

India’s Union Budget 2023–24

In India’s Union Budget 2023–24, the Government of India took numerous initiatives to improve the quality of medical and engineering education in the country. These initiatives are likely to have a long-term impact on the quality of higher education in India and provide access to quality education for all students, regardless of their socio-economic backgrounds. This article will explore the initiatives taken by the government, its impact on medical and engineering education, and the various ways in which the government is looking to improve the quality of higher education in India

The Indian government has taken a number of initiatives to improve the quality of medical and engineering education in the country. These initiatives include the decision to open 157 new nursing colleges. These nursing colleges will be government nursing colleges that will be established with those medical colleges that have come up in the last six to seven years.  Furthermore, ICMR, India’s top research lab, has opened labs for the government as well as for the faculties of private medical colleges. This will be beneficial for students and teachers of convent and private colleges, as they will be able to go for research in India’s top research labs.

Apart from this, the government has allocated funds for pharmaceutical research and has proposed to motivate research in the Center of Excellence in Pharmaceuticals as well. Furthermore, the budget for health education as a percentage of GDP has increased by 50% in the last 6–7 years, from 1.4% to 2.1%.

The government is also aiming to build a national digital library, especially for small children, to mitigate the loss suffered in school due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To this end, the government is planning to create a culture together with the National Book Trust and Children’s Book Trust, and the government is pushing for the promotion of English-language literature as much as possible. Furthermore, the government is also aiming to include many co-curricular titles in the regional language.

Moreover, a good initiative of the government is that of the Eklavya Model Residential School. This school currently has 740 schools open, with 3.5 million tribal students enrolled, and the government has promised to hire 38,800 teachers and support staff. This will be of great benefit to the students and to the academic development of tribal students.

In conclusion, the government’s initiatives in medical and engineering education are likely to have a significant impact on academic development in the country. These initiatives will greatly benefit the students and will help to create a culture of research and quality education in the country

In conclusion, the initiatives taken by the Indian Government in the 2023–24 Union Budget will have a positive impact on the country’s medical and engineering education in the long term.

HC dismisses medical college’s request for NMC approval of PG Medical courses

The Telangana High Court has recently dismissed a plea filed by a medical college seeking permission from the National Medical Commission (NMC) to run postgraduate medical courses for the coming academic year. The NMC had withdrawn the letter of permission granted to the college after it submitted seven fake bank guarantee documents from the Bank of Baroda.

The college management had approached the High Court, claiming that the fraud was committed by the consultant with whom the college had an agreement and that the college had submitted genuine guarantees to the NMC. However, the High Court’s single judge bench rejected the plea.

The college then approached the division bench of the High Court. The counsels appearing on behalf of the college and the NMC submitted their respective arguments before the court. The NMC counsel brought to the court’s attention that the college had admitted students to the last academic year on the basis of fake bank guarantees.

The division bench of the High Court, comprising Chief Justice Ujjal Bhuyan and Justice N. Tukaramji, rejected the plea of the medical college after considering the submissions of both parties. This decision highlights the importance of obtaining the necessary permission from the NMC in order to maintain the quality of medical education in the country

Karnataka is renowned for its high quality medical education, and is often the first choice among students wanting to pursue a career in the medical field. With a total of 21 government colleges, 12 deemed universities, and 30 self-finance colleges, Karnataka offers a diverse range of options to prospective students.

Karnataka has introduced open merit seats in 25 self-finance private colleges in Karnataka at very reasonable fees. This is one of the main reasons why Karnataka is so popular. It is because the private medical colleges in the state were established about 30-40 years ago and have since matured, offering students high quality education.

Karnataka not only provides students with the opportunity to pursue their dreams of becoming a doctor, but it also offers them domicile for PG admissions. This means that if students have done their UG in Karnataka, then it is much easier for them to get PG seats in Karnataka. In addition, Karnataka also offers merit seats at a very low and reasonable price.

Moreover, Karnataka’s culture is very open and accepting, which makes it easy for students from other parts of the country to settle in easily. This, combined with the quality of medical education, the relatively low fees, and the domicile benefits, makes Karnataka an ideal destination for those seeking to pursue a medical career

However, there are four private universities in Karnataka which require students to pay fees ranging from 15,00,000 to 20,00,000. These universities are Dayanand Sagar, Khaja Bandanawaz University and SDM Dharwad.

In Karnataka, there are 12 deemed universities which provide great opportunities for those with marks between 300-500. These universities include Kasturba Medical College’s Manipal and Campus, S. Hegde of JSS Mysore, Yenepoya Bangalore, Raja Rajeshwari, inside Bangalore city and Sri Siddhartha, which is located in Tumkur.

For those with marks ranging from 400-500, the four private universities can be a great option, albeit at a higher fee. On the other hand, the 25 self-finance colleges offer great opportunities at more reasonable fees, making them an attractive option for many students. The ranking of these colleges has been done on the basis of cut-off and fees, making it easier to compare them and decide on a suitable option.

Everything You Need to Know About NEET Counselling

The National Eligibility Entrance Test(NEET) is a crucial exam for students aspiring to pursue a career in the medical field. It is conducted by the National Testing Agency(NTA) and it is mandatory for students to pass the test in order to be eligible for admission to medical colleges. In order to facilitate the process of admissions, the Medical Counseling Committee (MCC) has introduced a counseling process for medical colleges in India.

The counseling process not only ensures an efficient and transparent admissions process, but also provides students with the opportunity to pursue a medical career of their choice. It ensures that merit is given due consideration while allotting seats in the medical colleges. Furthermore, it helps in creating a level playing field for students belonging to different categories and backgrounds.

What Is NEET Counselling? Why Is It Necessary?

NEET (National Eligibility Entrance Test) counseling is a part of the admissions process for medical colleges in India. It is an online counseling process which is used to allocate medical college seats to qualifying candidates. It is necessary as it helps to ensure that the right candidates get admission to medical colleges based on merit and that the seats are distributed fairly. Likewise, it also helps to make sure that the admission process is transparent and that there is no scope for manipulation or favoritism

In Which Mode the NEET Counselling Is Conducted?

The NEET Counselling is conducted in both online and offline mode, depending on the respective state and central authorities. The online mode is managed by the Medical Council Committee (MCC) and the offline mode is managed by respective state governments. The online mode includes the registration process, choice filling, seat allotment, and document verification, while the offline mode includes the registration and document verification process. The registration fee for the NEET Counselling is Rs.1000/- (non-refundable) and 10,000 Rs. (refundable) as security deposit.

Who Conducts the Counselling for State and Private Colleges?

The counseling for MBBS/BDS/BAMS/BUMS/ BHMS/B.V.Sc. & A.H. admissions in 2022 in state and private colleges is conducted by the respective state government authorities. For example, in Arunachal Pradesh, the authority conducts the counseling for 85% of the state’s MBBS/BDS/BAMS quota seats. In Assam, the authority conducts the counseling for Assam MBBS/BDS/B.V.Sc. and A.H./BUMS/BAMS/BHMS admissions 2022 online. In Bihar, the Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board conducts the bceceboard UGMAC Bihar NEET Counselling admissions for MBBS/BDS/B.V.Sc. & A.H/BUMS/BAMS/BHMS admission 2022. The NEET-UG Counselling will be conducted for qualified students on the basis of merit. Every state has its own NEET-UG counseling process.

What Is the Total Number of Rounds Involved in the Process?

The NEET Counseling Process involves a total of six rounds, including the Main Round, Mop-Up Round, and Deemed/Central Universities Round. The Main Round and Mop-Up Round will be conducted by the Medical Council of India (MCC). The Deemed/Central Universities Round will be conducted exclusively by the respective Deemed/Central Universities. The other three rounds of counseling are the All India Quota (AIQ) Round, the State Quota Round, and the Local/Institutional Quota Round. The AIQ Round will be conducted for 15% of the MBBS/BDS/BAMS/BUMS/ BHMS/B.V.Sc. & A.H. seats in government colleges. The state quota round will be conducted by the respective state government authorities for 85% of the MBBS/BDS/B.V.Sc. & A.H/BUMS/BAMS/ BHMS seats in state and private colleges. The local/institutional quota round will be conducted for the remaining 10% of the MBBS/BDS/B.V.Sc. and A.H/BUMS/BAMS/ BHMS seats in the respective state.

What Happens If the Student Isn’t Accepted into a Medical School?

If a student does not get a seat in a medical college in any of the six rounds of counseling, they can apply for the mop-up round. The mop-up round is the last round of counseling and is conducted by the MCC. If a student still fails to get a seat after this round, they can opt for private medical colleges or pursue an MBBS/BDS/BAMS/BUMS/BHMS/B.V.Sc./A.H. degree from abroad. Alternatively, they can also pursue related medical fields such as nursing, physiotherapy, or opt for other sciences like botany or zoology

Are Students Allowed to Participate in the Second Round of Counseling?

Yes, students can participate in the second round of counseling if they meet the eligibility criteria. The eligibility criteria include having a valid NEET score and a valid domicile certificate (for state quota seats). The seats that are allotted in the first round are not available in the second round, so the students will have to select from the available seats. The second round of counseling is conducted after the first round is complete, and students are given the opportunity to choose from the remaining seats.

Overall, the counseling process has been a major success in facilitating the admissions process at medical colleges. It has helped in creating a system of fair and transparent admissions, thereby ensuring that all deserving students get a chance to pursue their dreams of becoming a doctor

No PG Postponement and Exam Will Be Held on 5 March

The Supreme Court has dismissed all petitions seeking NEET PG 2023 postponement, and the exam will take place as scheduled on March 05, 2023. The aspirants have been pushing for an exam date extension to reduce the gap of around five months between the date of the exam and the date of MBBS internship completion.

 Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya had also clarified in the Parliament that NEET PG 2023 examination would be conducted on the scheduled date. The National Medical Commission (NMC) released its speaking order on Friday, 24th February, and disposed of the representations. The Supreme Court bench sought responses from the National Board of Examinations (NBE) during the hearing of petitions, and the bench deferred the matter. The last year’s internship extension was brief, and the bench noted that today, the aspirants have been asking for a more extended postponement. 

As ASG, Aishwarya Bhati asked the bench to refer to the dates furnished before the court. “The date was announced six months ago. Everyone who applied in the first window is 2 lakh 3 thousand,” she said.

Furthermore, the Medical Council of India has announced the commencement of counseling for medical aspirants post-exam, scheduled to begin from July 15, 2023. All students who are completing their internship on August 11, 2023, are eligible to avail of the counseling services.

The Medical Council of India is committed to providing medical aspirants with the best opportunities to pursue their dreams and wishes to ensure that all eligible students are able to get the best possible guidance during the counseling process.

PRIVATE MEDICAL COLLEGES OF BIHAR

Bihar is a North Indian state known for its rich cultural heritage and diverse history. Bihar has seen a surge in the establishment of private medical colleges in recent years. Out of the eight private medical colleges in Bihar, five have been established in the last three years. This article will provide information about all these private medical colleges and their admission criteria.

Let’s begin with the three oldest private medical colleges in Bihar

These colleges have PG seats and a good patient load.

The first one is Katihar Medical College, which is a Muslim minority college and is the oldest private medical college in Bihar. This college has a good reputation, and students from Bihar prefer it as their first choice in private medical colleges. If you belong to the Muslim minority, you need to score 400 marks in the NEET exam to get admission to this college. For non-Muslim students, the cutoff is 450 marks.

The second-oldest private medical college in Bihar is Mata Gujri Devi Medical College in Kishanganj. It is a Sikh minority medical college established in 1990. This college also has PG seats and a good reputation. If you have scored 400/380 marks in the NEET exam, then you should consider this college as your second choice. Its fees are also less than 10 lacs.

The third-oldest private medical college in Bihar is Gopal Narayan University in Sasaram. This college was established in 2008 and also has PG seats. It is among the three best private medical colleges in Bihar. If you belong to the general category and have scored 350 or more in the NEET exam, you can get admission to this college.

Now let’s move on to the five new private medical colleges that have been established in the last three years.

Lord Buddha Medical College in Saharsa was established in 2019, and Madhubani Medical College in Madhubani and Katihar Medical College in Katihar followed suit. Lord Buddha Medical College has a lower tuition fee of 12 lacs per year, making it an affordable option. The latter is the second Muslim-minority medical college in Bihar.

 In 2020, Netaji Subhash Medical College Beta in Patna opened its doors to students. The college is close to Patna and offers quality education, however, this college has a higher tuition fee of 15.5 lacs per year due to its location in Patna, the capital of Bihar. The demand for this college is high because it is in Patna, and patient load is expected to increase rapidly in the coming years.

The latest addition to this list are Radha Devi Jogeshwari Memorial Medical College in Muzaffarpur and Shri Narayan Medical College in Saharsa which both opened in 2021. These eight medical colleges in Bihar offer great opportunities to medical aspirants and are among the best in the country.

The selection criteria for admission in these colleges vary, however, it is important to note that these colleges provide excellent quality education. The minimum criteria for admission are set at 350+ for general category candidates. However, it is important to note that each college has its own set of criteria and students should check them before applying. 

For those looking to study medicine in Bihar, these private medical colleges are a great opportunity to pursue a career in the field. With quality education and a wide range of options available, these colleges are the perfect choice for aspiring medical professionals. 

Below, we have listed the ranks and the fees of the colleges.

1- Kathihar Medical College, Kathihar.

Tution fee -9.38 lacs per year.

2- Mata Gujri Devi Memorial Medical College, Kishanganj.

NMC Bill Applied in Bihar MBBS Colleges

The Medical Assembly of Bihar recently passed a major decision to revise the fee structure of MBBS and PG courses in government medical colleges across the state. The new fee structure will be applicable to both UG and PG courses, and there is a significant increase in the fees for both. The new fee structure for MBBS is ₹40,800 per year, including the hostel fees, while the fee for PG courses is now ₹49,200. 

The decision is likely to have a huge impact on medical aspirants in the state. With the fees revamp, the cut-off for medical courses in government medical colleges is expected to be higher, thereby reducing the chances for the students living on the border line. However, the fee structure for the remaining 50% of seats in private medical colleges is still uncertain.

This move by the state government is being seen as a welcome step by the medical fraternity, especially for those students who would otherwise not be able to afford the high fees of private medical institutions. It is likely to result in an increase in the number of medical aspirants in Bihar and also provide an opportunity for students from all walks of life to pursue their dreams of becoming doctors. 

The government’s decision is being welcomed by many. It is a step in the right direction and will prove beneficial for the state in the long run. It is expected that the new fee structure will bring about a significant change in the medical education landscape of Bihar and provide students with a chance to pursue their dreams.
