Students aspiring to get admission in top medical colleges will have to now take a common entrance exam. From the next academic session, aspiring doctors will have to appear for a Common Entrance Test (CET).
As per the latest updates, the Union health ministry and the Medical Council of India (MCI) have reached a consensus to roll out CET for admission to all government, private medical colleges and deemed universities for MBBS course from the 2012-13 academic session.
This historic decision was taken on a meeting held on Monday (July 18) chaired by Union health secretary K Chandramouli. The meeting was also attended by officials of MCI and CBSE.
The modalities of the meeting are being worked upon. There were also talks about bringing institutes like AIIMS under CET’s ambit.
If this decision is implemented then the prestigious AIIMS won’t be able to hold its own undergraduate entrance exam. Speaking to The Times of India, an official said, “The top students can choose to join AIIMS. However, more discussions will be held on this matter. The idea is to have one single medical entrance exam in the country,” an official said.”
There are also talks to review and revise the existing medical curriculum. As per MCI governing body, the medical curriculum of medical colleges will be revised and put up on the website for public comments soon.
The new, common entrance exam will be held for MBBS courses offered by all 271 medical colleges – 138 run by governments and 133 under private management. Approximately, 8-10 lakh students are likely to appear for the maiden CET exam.
This common entrance exam will bring more transparency and uniformity in selection students for medical colleges. At the moment, there are 31,000 MBBS seats for which 17 entrance tests are held.

Will karnataka students be elligible for NEET?
total no. of seats which will going to be subjected in NEET for ug.
being from delhi upto what rank will be able to get admission in maulana azad considering the state qouta?(i think state qouta will be implemnted)…
what about pmt 2012??
is it also common??
bt it is said tht state rnk wouldn’t be declared
As it happened in AIEEE selections for engineering this year,people secured the more than one seats in different colleges and till the end of 3rd counselling, all the seats were shown to be filled in particular colleges but actually the situations was different. Lots of vacant seats were available in those colleges for a particular course. This has really made a big confusion and worries also for the students who did not get through online counselling system. Only on manual counselling of that college has made those aspirants to get admission. If this would be the case in NEET pmt then I must there will be a chaos. What are your views in this case.
My second question is will there be selection on the basis of state merit or on all india rank.
