The Narendra Modi government seems keen to push for a common entrance test for medical colleges across the country, yet again, with an earlier effort to implement such a system having failed in 2013.
Moving in those lines the Medical Council of India (MCI), at its general body meeting held on October 1, 2015, have approved a joint proposal placed before it, by the ministry of health and the MCI, to have a unitary "Common Entrance Test" to be held by a designated competent authority for admission to MBBS and post-graduate medical courses, according to sources.
MCI sources said the joint proposal was unanimously adopted by the GBM and that it was for the ministry now to push the issue further. The sources also said MCI is in favour of an amendment to the Medical Council of India Act, 1956, to ensure proper implementation of the new system. Though government sources say, even an "executive order" would be good enough to implement the change.
