Single entrance test for MBBS from 2011

There will be only one common entrance test each for over 30,000 MBBS seats and over 11,000 MD seats in all government and medical colleges in the country from 2011.

This important decision, taken by the Medical Council of India and accepted by the Union ministry of health, was conveyed to the Supreme Court, bringing huge relief to lakhs of aspiring doctors.

Earlier, students wanting to take up courses in medicine had to appear in at least five to six entrance tests for various colleges and worry about attendant problems like clash of exam dates as well as travel to distant places for counselling for allotment of seats.

But from 2011, there will be just one entrance test each for MBBS and MD courses offered by all 271 medical colleges, 138 government-run and 133 under private management. These colleges together offer over 31,000 seats for MBBS courses and another 11,000 for PG.
