SAD demands revocation of Punjab govt’s new notification on MBBS, BDS seats

Chandigarh, Jun 15 (UNI) Demanding revocation of the Congress government’s new notification changing the criteria for admission into MBBS and BDS courses in Punjab, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Saturday said the new norms had broadened the eligibility criteria to the severe disadvantage of native students of the state.
In a statement here, SAD senior vice president Dr Daljit Singh Cheema said following the new notification students from outside the state would be eligible to take advantage of the 85 per cent state quota. “This will hurt the chances of bonafide state students and is an anti- Punjab step which needs to be revoked immediately”.
The Akali leader said after a high court decision, the erstwhile SAD-BJP government had issued a notification announcing eligibility criteria for admissions into MBBS and BDS courses in Punjab for the session 2019-20. As per the notification, the students were required to pass 10th and 12th class from any school in Punjab besides being bona fide residents of the state. He said that these conditions were imposed to ensure 85 per cent quota for native students as they could avail only 15 per cent quota in other states.
