New Delhi:
The central government Friday informed the Supreme Court that it
had finalised the rules and regulations for all India common
entrance test (CET) for post-graduate medical courses.
The government also told the apex court that it had finalised the
rules and regulations for undergraduate medical course.
Solicitor General Gopal Subramanium told Justice R.V. Raveendran
and Justice H.L. Gokhale that the government wanted to hold common
entrance tests to have uniform standards of medical education in
the country.
Subramanium said the government had succeeded in evolving the
consensus among private and government medical colleges on the
tests.
The court was also told that an earlier announcement by the
Medical Council of India (MCI) for holding a common entrance test
was deferred due to opposition from the Tamil Nadu government.
In Tamil Nadu, admission in professional courses is on the basis
of marks obtained in the qualifying examinations.
The court asked the government why it needed its approval to issue
the notification, saying it did not want to be part of the
government's policy decisions.
It also told the government that it should not rush with the
notification for the common test as there could be opposition from
states.
