The National Testing Agency (NTA) has issued a correction related to the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Undergraduate (NEET-UG) 2023. The correction pertains to the eligibility of Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) candidates who wish to apply for UG medical programs in India. As per the revised rules, OCI medical aspirants can now apply for admission to all UG medical programs in India, subject to the regulations set by the authorities. Previously, OCI cardholders were only permitted to apply for admission to NRI or supernumerary seats.

As per the official notice, an individual holding Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) status can now apply for admission to undergraduate Unani/Siddha/Homeopathy programs in India. However, this is subject to the guidelines issued by the respective regulatory bodies or counselling and admission authorities, which must conform to the policy decisions of the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MOHFW) and/or Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). This applies to the rules, regulations, and notifications related to Medical, Dental, Ayurveda, and other related fields.

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released a notice informing NEET (UG) 2023 candidates about a correction to Clause 5.2.2 of the information bulletin. This correction is in response to the judgment dated 03.02.2023 of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in W.P(C) 891/2021 and connected matters. The revised provision of Clause 5.2.2 in the Information Bulletin now pertains to the eligibility of OCI cardholders for NEET (UG). Aspiring OCI candidates for NEET (UG) 2023 are advised to read the amended provision of Clause 5.2.2 carefully.

The updated provision now states that individuals holding Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) status can apply for admission to undergraduate medical, dental, Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy courses in India. However, this is subject to the guidelines set by the respective regulatory bodies, counselling and admission authorities, and in accordance with the policy decisions of the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MOHFW) and/or Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). These rules, regulations, and notifications related to admission must be followed from time to time.

According to the current provision, as per the Notification dated 4 March 2021 by the Ministry of Home Affairs, OCI cardholders have rights that are similar to non-resident Indians under the Citizenship Act, 1955. As per Clause (4) (ii) of the notification, OCI cardholders are allowed to appear for all-India entrance tests, including the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test, Joint Entrance Examination (Main), Joint Entrance Examination (Advanced), or other such tests, but only to be eligible for admission to Non-Resident Indian seats or supernumerary seats. However, OCI cardholders are not eligible for admission to any seat that is exclusively reserved for Indian citizens.

According to the Notification mentioned above, the Explanation states that OCI cardholders, as well as PIO cardholders, are considered foreign nationals, and they hold a passport from a foreign country, which makes them ineligible for Indian citizenship. As such, they are not entitled to seats that are reserved exclusively for Indian citizens. Therefore, OCI/PIO cardholders will be considered foreigners and can only apply for Non-Resident Indian (NRI) seats. They will not be eligible for Indian national seats, including paid seats at deemed universities.

What is OCI?

OCI, or Overseas Citizenship of India, is a status granted to foreign citizens of Indian origin that allows them to live and work in India without any time restrictions. The OCI card was introduced in 2005 by the Indian Government to cater to the needs of Indians residing abroad who desired dual citizenship. Since India does not permit dual citizenship, the OCI card was introduced as an alternative to providing certain benefits to foreign citizens of Indian origin. The Citizenship (Amendment) Act of 2005 presented this option. It is important to note that the difference between NRI and OCI is vast, as the Constitution of India does not allow Indian citizens to possess dual citizenship. 

Individuals who are foreign nationals but have the eligibility to become Indian citizens at any time after 1950, and belong to a territory that became part of India after 1947, can register as Overseas Citizens of India (OCI). This eligibility also extends to minors of such parents.

In recent times, there has been an increase in queries regarding OCI and its advantages. The OCI card provides a high degree of convenience to foreign individuals who wish to reside in India while maintaining citizenship in another country.

The telemedicine department of the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) in Chandigarh has developed 20 modules of online lectures and learning materials for government medical college students nationwide, providing good news to them. The free lessons will be initially offered to colleges in northern India, with plans to expand to private medical colleges across the country over time.

The Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has designated PGIMER as RCC-North, one of the seven Regional Resource Centers in India. While the lectures offered by PGIMER’s telemedicine department will not be credit-based, students will receive certificates from PGIMER and other resource centres such as AIIMS Rishikesh, King Edward Memorial Mumbai, Government Medical College Thiruvananthapuram, Jipmer Puducherry, SGPGI Lucknow, BHU Varanasi, and North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical Sciences Shillong. Additionally, AIIMS Delhi is the NRC.

In 2013, the National Medical College Network project was announced by the Union Health Ministry, resulting in the establishment of seven RRCs and one national resource centre. The Union Health Ministry has now requested the development of a Learning Management Information system (LMIS) for MBBS students.

Prof. Biman Saikia, who is in charge of the telemedicine department at PGIMER, stated to the Times of India that the institute has developed 20 modules for providing free tutorials to MBBS students who wish to enhance their knowledge on various topics. These modules have been created by experts from PGIMER and other institutes and will be available for students to access at no cost.

In the previous year, the LMIS module began to take form and the colleges and institutes collaborating with the Health Ministry started recording lectures given to them. The esteemed faculties of the institute have been recording the lectures. As per the report, 124 modules have already been recorded and uploaded to the website. Access to these modules is granted to students with validated registration identity cards.

Dr Amit Agarwal from the PGI Department of Telemedicine explained that they have developed 22 modules for the initiative with the assistance of faculty members from various departments. He also highlighted that while there are several videos and online teaching materials available for other professionals, this is the only standardized platform that can be accessed by doctors enrolled in remote medical colleges.

The enactment of the Right to Health Act in Rajasthan, India, is a significant step towards ensuring that all residents of the state have access to healthcare as a fundamental right. It is a commendable move that can go a long way in improving the health outcomes of the people in the state. However, the mere enactment of the law is not enough. The next step should be to define what the right to health means and what it entails.

Specifically, a formal definition of the right to health should be created to determine whether it guarantees medical care for a set of conditions at the individual level or the assurance of a set of enablers that together would yield outcomes such as the absence of disease and physical, mental, and social well-being. The definition of the right to health should be guided by the principles of universality, equity, and accountability. The government should ensure that all residents of the state, irrespective of their economic and social status, have access to essential health services.

Additionally, there should be a standardized, auditable, and reimbursable basket of emergency conditions that require a time-sensitive, life-saving response at the first healthcare facility possible. This will require engaging healthcare professionals and healthcare establishments in the state, irrespective of their public or private nature, to deliver life-saving, morbidity-limiting, first-point-of-care services. The government should ensure that there are adequate resources and infrastructure to meet the emergency health needs of the people in the state. Emergency services should be accessible and affordable to all residents of the state.

Furthermore, Rajasthan’s health infrastructure should be able to address all other elective and non-emergency needs of its resident population, based on guidance from the treatment protocol wing of the State Health Authority. National priority programs funded by the Central government, such as TB or blindness control programs, should be integrated into the revamped delivery network by the logistics wing, making it an integrated one rather than being fractured along funding lines. This will ensure that the healthcare delivery system in the state is efficient and effective.

To achieve these objectives, it will be essential to engage counterparts in the ministries of roadways, telecommunications, and law enforcement, among others, to ensure there are accountable expenditures. The government should ensure that there are adequate resources and infrastructure to meet the health needs of the people in the state. Healthcare professionals should be trained and equipped to provide quality health services to people. The government should also ensure that there are adequate incentives for healthcare professionals to work in the state.

Overall, the Rajasthan Model of Public Health should aim to provide quality assured mortality-preventing and morbidity-mitigating first-level services for a range of conditions while addressing all other elective and non-emergency healthcare needs of its resident population. The government should ensure that there are adequate resources and infrastructure to meet the health needs of the people in the state. Healthcare professionals should be trained and equipped to provide quality health services to people. The government should also ensure adequate incentives for healthcare professionals to work in the state.

In conclusion, the Right to Health Act in Rajasthan, India, is a step in the right direction towards ensuring that all residents of the state have access to healthcare as a fundamental right. However, there is a need to define what the right to health means and what it entails. The government should ensure that there are adequate resources and infrastructure to meet the health needs of the people in the state. Healthcare professionals should be trained and equipped to provide quality health services to people. The government should also ensure that there are adequate incentives for healthcare professionals to work in the state. With these measures in place, the healthcare delivery system in Rajasthan can be transformed to provide quality health services to all its residents.

The University Grants Commission (UGC) is set to announce guidelines for the setting up and operation of campuses of foreign higher educational institutions in India in May. The regulations have been drafted in line with the recommendations of the National Education Policy (NEP), 2020, which aims to internationalize the Indian higher education system and make India an attractive global study destination.

The UGC Chairman, M. Jagdish Kumar, revealed that the draft guidelines received responses from several foreign universities and embassies. The UGC is currently in the final stage of consolidating the suggestions and will consult the Reserve Bank of India and take legal opinion before announcing the guidelines. Most of the suggestions came from universities based in Europe and North America, and several embassies have also contacted the UGC with their queries and suggestions.

The UGC aims to facilitate the entry of higher-ranked foreign universities into India, providing an international dimension to higher education, enabling Indian students to obtain foreign qualifications at an affordable cost, and improving the overall standard of higher education in the country. The regulatory framework will allow foreign universities that have secured a position within the top 500 of overall/subject-wise global rankings to set up campuses in India, subject to the approval of the UGC.

The UGC Chairman emphasized that the setting up of foreign universities in India would be a “win-win situation” for the country. It will help students to develop collaborative research or academic activities with foreign students, and Indian academics in foreign universities can come to India to teach in their own universities. This will improve the overall standard of higher education in the country.

The NEP stated that top universities in the world would be facilitated to operate in India, and for this, a legislative framework facilitating such entry will be put in place. Such universities will be given special dispensation regarding regulatory, governance, and content norms on par with other autonomous institutions of India. The UGC draft guidelines adhere to these recommendations, and no foreign HEIs shall set up campuses in India without the approval of the UGC.

The UGC will contact the embassies and foreign universities with the amended draft after incorporating the suggestions, and bring awareness about the scope of setting up foreign universities in India. The UGC aims to make India an attractive global study destination by facilitating the entry of higher-ranked foreign universities into the country. This will provide an international dimension to higher education, enable Indian students to obtain foreign qualifications and improve the overall standard of higher education in the country.

The ongoing protest of Rajasthan doctors against the Right to Health Bill has drawn the attention of the State Medical Council and the State Human Rights Commission. The Rajasthan Medical Council has now requested the various universities and medical colleges to provide information about the striking doctors. Dr. Manish Sharma, the registrar of the Rajasthan Medical Council, has written to the Principal and administrators of hospitals such as Sawai Man Singh Medical College in Jaipur, RUHS College of Medical Science, JLN Medical College in Ajmer, Sardar Patel Medical College in Bikaner, RNT Medical College in Udaipur, Dr. Sampurnanand Medical College in Jodhpur, GMC Kota, Jhalawar Medical College, and all government medical colleges under Raj MES, asking for details about the doctors participating in the strike.

The Registrar of the Rajasthan Medical Council wrote to various universities and medical colleges requesting details of striking doctors, mentioning the circumstances in state hospitals due to the ongoing strike. The letter noted that the State Human Rights Commission had taken suo motu cognizance of the situation and directed the council to take action against the striking doctors under relevant acts and rules. The council has also been asked to submit a factual report to the Commission for assessment by April 10, 2023.

The Rajasthan Medical Council has instructed the heads of medical colleges and hospitals in the state to furnish details of striking doctors, such as their names, dates of birth, and council registration numbers within three days via email to the council’s address, [email protected]. The letter also instructed the medical colleges to ensure that the information is provided, so that legal action can be taken against the striking doctors.

The Council’s move comes in response to notices issued by the Rajasthan State Human Rights Commission to the Principal Secretary of Medical and Health and Registrar of Rajasthan Medical Council on Wednesday, asking for an explanation on what action has been taken against the striking doctors in the state. The Commission emphasized that the act of doctors is a violation of their oath and an infringement of their moral duty and that it cannot remain a “dumb spectator” of this abuse of human rights.

The notice also emphasized that it is the responsibility of the state government to enact laws to enhance healthcare services for the betterment of its citizens. The ‘Right to Health’ bill was passed with this goal in mind, and it is now a law. The notice further stated that if there are any provisions in the Act that contradict the Constitution, they can be challenged in court. However, instead of challenging the law, private doctors have been on strike for the past 12 days. This strike has been supported by government hospital doctors, disrupting healthcare services across the state. The commission’s chairman, Justice GK Vyas, has appealed to the striking doctors to end their strike immediately and resume their work for the well-being of patients and humanity.

Earlier, it was reported that a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) was filed before the Rajasthan High Court seeking direction from the state to take action against the striking doctors and declare the Rajasthan Essential Services Maintenance Act (RESMA) for maintaining health services. The PIL also requested the cancellation of the licenses or registrations of doctors and the revocation of the recognition of private diagnostic centres that participated in the strike.

According to the latest report by the Times of India, the HC division bench of acting Chief Justice MM Shrivastav and Justice Anil Upman, while considering the PIL on Friday, issued notice to the State Government, the agitating private doctors’ association, and Rajasthan Medical Council, among others. The bench also asked the State to provide the minutes of talks held with the doctors for breaking the deadlock in the next hearing scheduled for April 11, 2023.

However, the bench observed that the PIL was not well-researched and was filed for publicity purposes. The bench pointed out that the petition did not even contain newspaper clippings to support the raised points. The bench also noted that lawyers have lost moral authority for appearing in cases concerning strikes as they themselves were on strike for over a month recently.

Meanwhile, the counsel for the government, Advocate General Mahendra Singhvi, requested the HC bench to declare the ongoing strike by doctors illegal. He submitted that the Right to Health Bill was passed after holding detailed discussions with the doctors and scrutinized by the standing committee of the Assembly.

Private hospitals doctors in Rajasthan have been staging protests against the proposed “Right to Health” bill, which was introduced by the State Government to ensure access to treatment for all residents. However, the medical community in the State has been vehemently opposing the bill, which they deemed draconian and illogical. The doctors under Private Hospitals and Nursing Homes Society (PHNHS) and Jaipur Medical Association have identified several clauses in the bill that they claim lack clarity and seek to restrict doctors’ powers.

One of the major issues that the doctors have raised pertains to the clauses that mandate the treatment of patients for any medical emergency, free of charge, at both government and private hospitals. They have pointed out that the State has not provided a definition of what constitutes an emergency or how private hospitals and doctors will be reimbursed for these medical expenses.

In addition, the Jaipur branch of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) has also expressed opposition to the establishment of a separate grievance redressal committee for addressing patient complaints. Despite the bill’s passage in the State Assembly last week, doctors are continuing their protests and demanding its withdrawal. Private doctors have shut down medical services throughout the State, while government doctors and faculty members in medical colleges joined a one-day strike on Wednesday to express solidarity with the protesting private doctors.

The Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS) has unveiled the eligibility requirements and the intake capacity for each course offered in the first round of admissions for Fellowship and/or Certificate Courses for the academic year 2022-23. The admissions process will be carried out online, and the affiliated training centres will conduct it. In addition, MUHS has also released a list of eligible candidates with their general merit numbers, an allotment list, a roster of disqualified candidates, and the fee structure.

Both the allotment letter and the retention form are accessible online to all applicants concerned. Those who have been selected can obtain a hard copy of the allotment letter and the retention form for the first round by entering their registered mobile number and OTP. The following link can be used by the applicant to obtain a printout of the allotment letter and the retention form: https://intranet.muhs.ac.in/admission_fcc_print_allotement_letter.aspx.

The University’s criteria for allotment are based on two factors: 

1. The applicant’s Maharashtra domicile status, and their academic achievements in various degree programs.
2. Candidates are evaluated based on the marks they have obtained in their Super Specialty Degree (400 Marks), Post Graduate Degree (300 Marks), Post Graduate Degree attempts, Post Graduate Diploma (200 Marks), Under Graduate Marks, 12th Marks, and any additional criteria such as their HSC marks and age, as per the University’s policy.
3. If there are no Maharashtra Domicile applicants available for a particular course, only Non-Maharashtra Domicile candidates are considered based on the number of vacancies and their priority.
4. A separate merit number is generated for each candidate based on their academic achievements in their PG, UG & 12th courses, as applicable.

For the first round, candidates who have been allotted seats and wish to retain/confirm them are required to report to the assigned training center, pay the total course fees (75% of the fees to be paid to the training center and 25% of administrative fees to be paid to the University through the online payment link https://muhs.unisuite.in), and submit the retention form and all relevant original documents within the given deadline.

Candidates who wish to retain their admission status at the respective training center must fill the “Status Retention Form” by the deadline of April 10th, 2023. Those who have been admitted to their preferred choice of course must accept the allotted admission; failure to do so will result in their exclusion from this year’s admission process.

Candidates who have received allotments other than their first priority and wish to upgrade their priority must report to the assigned training center in the first round as per the allotment letter. At this stage, they only have to pay the administrative charges to the University (25% administrative fees to be paid through the online payment link https://muhs.unisuite.in/). They must then communicate their decision not to retain the allotted seat to both the concerned training center and the University by sending an email to [email protected].

The applicant must provide payment information for a 25% administrative fee to the designated training center. If the applicant is allotted a different training center in the next round, they must attend it, or else pay the remaining 75% of the course fees to the new training center. If the applicant is not allotted a new seat in the subsequent round, they must pay the remaining 75% of the fees to the originally allotted training center.

If an applicant decides to cancel their admission, any potential refund of fees will be subject to the University’s decision and policies. Those who have already confirmed their admission may apply to cancel and receive a refund. However, the amount refunded will be reduced as per the University’s Admission Notification No. 02/2023, issued on January 19, 2023, for all courses.

The concerned Deans, Principals, or Heads of Departments of all affiliated Training Centers are instructed to send a copy of the Retention Form submitted by the applicant to the University via email at [email protected] on or before April 11, 2023. The hard copy of the form, along with the receipt for the 25% administrative fees paid online, should also be submitted.

Candidates who have graduated from Government, aided Corporation, Armed Forces, or affiliated Institutes and are obligated to fulfil their Bond Service must provide a certificate verifying completion of their obligation. The Dean, Principal, or Director of the college, institute, or affiliated training center is responsible for ensuring that the certificate complies with the policies of the Government of Maharashtra or DMER, Mumbai, as appropriate. It is their duty to verify and decide on the conformity of the Bond completion certificate.

The University does not oversee any stipend that affiliated Training Centers may offer to admitted candidates of the Fellowship/Certificate Courses. It is up to the concerned management/administration of the affiliated Training Centers to decide whether to provide a stipend. However, the affiliated Training Centers must follow consistent and transparent policies when providing stipends to admitted candidates.

Attention all concerned individuals: The University has specified the eligibility criteria for admission to certain Fellowship Courses as either a post-graduation master’s degree or postgraduate diploma qualification. It should be noted that postgraduate diploma holders are required to complete an additional year of work compared to those with a PG master’s degree. Consequently, the total duration for postgraduate diploma holders to complete the Fellowship Courses is 2 years.

This allotment is temporary in nature, and the University reserves the right to cancel it at any time. The process for paying the 25% administrative fees for Fellowship and Certificate Courses is online.

Courses After NBEMS Diploma in Obstetrics and Gynaecology Course 

The NBEMS Diploma in Obstetrics and Gynaecology is a postgraduate program that MBBS graduates can pursue. After completing this course, candidates can opt for higher degree programs like Master’s and research degrees recognized by NBEMS, where the NBEMS Diploma in Obstetrics and Gynaecology serves as a feeder qualification.

Furthermore, those holding an NBEMS diploma qualification are eligible to take the DNB PDCET exam conducted by the National Board of Examinations. This exam enables candidates to seek admission to Post Diploma DNB Broad specialty Courses.

The Supreme Court has rejected a petition by the Bihar State Branch of the Indian Medical Association, which challenged the minimum percentile criteria in the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) for admission to postgraduate medical courses. The Delhi High Court bench had previously upheld the regulation that requires a minimum of 50th percentile marks to clear the NEET-PG entrance exam and be eligible for PG medical course admission.

On March 27, the bench comprising Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, Justice JB Pardiwala, and Justice PS Narsimha declined to consider the plea and dismissed the Special Leave Petition under Article 136 of the Constitution. The Indian Medical Association Bihar branch had filed the petition, challenging the minimum percentile requirement for NEET PG admissions, which had been upheld by the Delhi High Court. The order stated, “We are not inclined to entertain the Special Leave Petition… The Special Leave Petition is accordingly dismissed.”

It had earlier been reported that three doctors had filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) before the Delhi HC seeking admission into postgraduate courses. They had challenged the Postgraduate Medical Education (Amendment) Regulations, 2018 (as amended on 05.04.2018) and its requirement for minimum marks of 50th percentile as a mandatory requirement for the general category and 40th percentile for the reserved category for admission to postgraduate courses. They had claimed that the requirement was arbitrary, unjustified and contrary to Article 14, Article 19 (1) (g) and Article 21 of the Constitution of India. 

The petitioners contended that the percentile system prescribed under Regulation 9(3) of the amended Regulation was flawed. They argued that this system had resulted in a large number of seats remaining vacant despite the availability of competent and willing candidates.

During the case’s consideration, the Delhi High Court bench had expressed the view that the National Medical Commission (NMC), formerly known as the Medical Council of India (MCI), has the power to ensure that the standards of medical education in India are of the highest level.

Last year, the Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Subramonium Prasad-led bench of the High Court dismissed the PIL and remarked that the lowering of medical education standards could have disastrous consequences on society. They also noted that the practice of medicine involves matters of life and death, and it would be unacceptable for the court to interfere with the standards that the governing authority had set diligently and with due consideration.

The High Court bench, led by Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Subramonium Prasad, had stated last year that it was not within their power to order the authorities to fill seats in medical colleges, particularly if the applicants had not met the minimum percentile requirements. They further emphasized that quality in medical education was critical, given the potential risks to human life, and thus, there could be no compromise on this issue. The Indian Medical Association Bihar branch challenged this order in the Supreme Court, but the top court has declined to consider the plea.
