1. GENERAL |
| (a) |
The
Governor of Punjab is pleased to notify admissions to under-graduate
Degree courses in Medical (MBBS)/ Dental (BDS)/ Ayurvedic (BAMS)/
Homoeopathic (BHMS), for the year 2004 in the medical institutions
in the state of Punjab. This notification is issued in accordance
with the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in TMA PAI
Foundation Vs. State of Karnataka [ (2002) 8- SCC-481] and Islamic
Academy of Education Vs. State of Karnataka [ ( 2003) 6- SCC -697]. |
| (b) |
The
salient points of the Supreme Court decisions are: |
| |
(1)
|
The
state government would fix the percentage of government
and management (minority) quota seats in private medical
institutions in the state. In fixing the percentage the
state must keep in mind the local needs and the interests
of the minority community in the state. The private institutions,
if not satisfied with the distribution of the seats, can
approach the committee headed by a retired High Court Judge. |
(2) |
The
status of an institution as minority institution is to be
determined by taking the State as Unit. |
(3) |
All the seats in government colleges and government quota
seats in private colleges will be filled up on the basis
of merit in the common entrance test (PMET) conducted by
the university. |
(4) |
The
management ( minority) quota seats can be filled up either
from the PMET conducted by the university or the common
entrance test conducted by the association of all private
colleges. If no such test is held by the private colleges
then the management seats would also be filled up on the
basis of merit in university conducted test. Institutions
holding their own test for more than 25 years can be exempted
from these two tests and can be permitted to have their
own test provided they exercise the option and are permitted
by the committe of a retired High Court Judge. |
(5) |
The management (minority) quota seats in the minority institution
would be filled up strictly on the basis of inter se merit
of the students belonging to minority community in the competitive
test and there would be no sub-reservation/quota for any
sub category in these seats.
|
(6) |
All
the seats would be filled strictly on the basis of merit
and there would be no sub quota/sub reservation in either
the government seats or the management seats except for
the constitutional reservation provided by the government.
|
(7)
|
There
would be uniform fee-structure for both government and management
seats. The private colleges can propose their own fee-structure,
which would be subject to approval by the committee of retired
High Court Judge. |
|
| (c) |
The
Governor of Punjab is further pleased to notify that all the institutions
whether government or private, aided or unaided, minority or non-minority
shall be covered by this notification. |
| (d) |
The
Governor of Punjab is further pleased to appoint Baba Farid University
of Health Sciences, Faridkot to conduct the Punjab Medical Entrance
Test - 2004 (PMET-2004) in three compulsory subjects of Physics,
Chemistry and Biology(Botany and Zoology) for selection of candidates
for admission to MBBS/ BDS and BAMS/BHMS courses in various institutions
of the State. |
| (e) |
The
government has not been approached by the association of all the
private colleges in regard to the common entrance test of their
own. No institution except Christian Medical College Ludhiana (
dealt with in sub para (f) below) is older than 25 years and is
conducting its own test. Accordingly the management/minority quota
seats in private colleges including the minority institutions will
be filled up on the basis of merit in the PMET conducted by the
university. The government quota seats in all private colleges including
minority colleges would be filled up from the PMET merit list. |
| (f) |
The
Christian Medical College (CMC) Ludhiana is the only college in
the State conducting its own Admission Test for more than 25 years.
The college has so far not produced permission from the Admissions
Committee headed by Mr Justice GR Majithia ( Retd) for conducting
its own test. The minority quota in the college therefore shall
also be filled up on the basis of merit in PMET conducted by the
university. The government quota will of course be filled up from
the PMET as explained above. |
