NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday ordered that single entrance test would be held for MBBS and post graduate medical seats of government and private medical colleges.
Earlier, a panel set up by the health ministry to run the Medical Council of India ( MCI) had suggested that a common entrance exam would lessen the stress of the student.
Member of the panel Dr Devi Shetty had said that at present, a student wanting to study medicine has to appear for 10-15 examinations, which can be highly stressful to both the student and his family. A common entrance exam will allow a student to give his best shot at one go.
President of the panel Dr S K Sarin had said that a common entrance will reduce hassles for students appearing for multiple medical exams.
