Imphal, June 23 : The Kuki Students Organisation General Headquarters KSO-GHQ said it was astounded that state government has cancelled the Common Entrance Test (CMT) 2013 for MBBS/BDS slated to have been held on 9th June 2013 notwithstanding the Supreme Court standing order of 15th January, 2013 which states, the Medical Council of India, the Dental Council of India, as well as the States and Universities and other Institutions, will be entitled to conduct their respective examinations for the M.B.B.S, B.D.S. and Post Graduate courses, but shall not declare the results of the same, until further orders of this Court.
Indeed there was a Notification published on 27th December, 2010 being No. MCI-81(1)/2010-MED/49070 dated 21/12/2010 issued by the Medical Council of India, notifying Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) for admission to Post-Graduate Medical Courses conducted in Colleges all across the country. However, the Christian Medical College, Vellore and others have filed a case being T.C.C. No. 98 of 2012 before the Hon¬(e Supreme Court of India assailing the said notification and all the analogous cases were clubbed together for hearing before the Supreme Court.
There is no any interim order prohibiting conduct of the Entrance Examination by any state/Union Territory in the Country. Some states like Puducherry, Tripura and Sikkim have conducted the Entrance Examination and in some States, the result has also been declared.
KSO in the interest of aspiring medical students appealed the state government to revoke its Cabinet decision taken on 6th June 2013 which cancelled the Common Entrance Test (CMT) 2013 as there is no reason why the Examination should not be conducted in Manipur unless the state government has a secret agenda on this issue.
KSO endorsed and lauded the Manipur MBBS/BDS 2013 Entrance Examination Parents/Guardians Association in pursuing the case thus far and pledge to support the association until justice is done on MBBS/BDS 2013 candidates.
