THE DIRECTOR General (Medical Education) has sought the State Government’s intervention in the admission of those CPMT-2006 candidates, who are allotted State quota seats in the private medical and dental colleges.
In a letter to the State Government, DGME Dr Kamal Sahni sought extension of admission date, as the State quota seats in the private colleges have not been completed. The last day for admission is July 25. This problem came to light when two colleges did not allow candidates, allotted seats in their colleges under the state quota, stating that their allotment letter had not reached them.
The students were told that their admission would be possible only when the allotment letters from the counseling centres or the DGME office, reached them.
The DGME has taken this as foul play on the part of college management to grab the State quota in their bid to fill these seats through management quota to get high fees and donations.
CPMT-2006 candidates are allotted seats in seven medical and dental colleges and apart from these State colleges, some seats are also allotted to the private colleges.

Now by delaying the process of admission, these colleges want to grab the seats,” DGME Dr Sahni said. A large number of parents gathered at the office of the DGME this afternoon. After talking to the parents and the college authorities, the DGME has decided to get the last date extended.
