Agartala, Sep 11, 2011 : In an unprecedented move, Tripura government decided to hold fresh Joint entrance examination to meet the cut-off marks criteria for vacant 29 medical seats meant for ST, SC students in Agartala Government Medical College.

“The examination will be held soon”, said Anil Sarkar, higher education minister accompanied by health minister Tapan Chakraborty on Saturday.

“However, the decision for conducting joint entrance once for second time would need approval. We have placed the resolution before MCI seeking directives”, Sarkar added.

"The MCI is yet to communicate its decision ", he said.

The seats had fallen vacant due to non availability of eligible ST, SC candidates in TBJEE merit list. Recently, Medical Council of India turned down state government’s request for relaxation of the cut-off marks citing the verdict of Supreme Court of India.

Sarkar said, “Tripura Board of Joint Entrance Examination will conduct the fresh examination and also decide the schedules and venue for the examinations”.

On September 6 last, an all-party meet had unanimously taken the decision and requested the state government to consider the matter.
