Agartala, Aug 08, 2011 : Two writ petitions have been filed at the Agartala Bench of Guwahati High Court, by the students and parents, over 24 vacant ST seats in MBBS course at Agartala Government Medical College (AGMC).
Among the two writ petitions, one Dr Biplab Jamatia filing the petition challenged the role of Tripura Joint Entrance Examination Board (TBJEE) and sought judicial intervention into the matter and instruction to the Tripura government for immediate entry of ST students in the vacant seats.
The second writ petition was filed by 17 students in the same issue making Medical Council of India (MCI) a party in the petition.
The petition filed by Dr. Jamatia stated that the Joint Entrance Examination Board did not specify the cut-off marks in the notification of examination and the students who sat in the examinations were unaware the new regulation.
He also claimed that there was no special coaching system for joint entrance examinations for ST students by the state government.
He appealed that ‘the state government should be directed to by the court to admit students in the vacant seats’.
Sources said, both the writ petitions would be heard in the HC on Tuesday next.
Meanwhile, Health Minister Tapan Chakraborty on Saturday said, so far the Union government and the MCI did not send any response over the vacant ST seat issues.
Chakraborty also added that from next academic year, there would be all India CET for medical admissions.
However, seven seats of MBBS course and 2 seats for BDS have been released from the national pool from TBJEE merit list.
It may be mentioned here that 24 ST seats are lying vacant at the medical college due nonavailability of eligible ST students having 40 percent cut-off marks stipulated by MCI and non availability of candidates in TBJEE merit list.
