Mci recognised degree-a must for super specialisation courses....hc
Source:indian express
The Bombay High Court has taken note of the rules for admission to post graduate medical and super-specialty courses. The court while deciding on a petition filed by a few students has now ruled that admission to super specialty courses can be given only to students having a degree recognized by the Medical Council of India (MCI).
The discrepancy came to light following a petition filed by Dr Bhavin Pujara along with four others who had challenged the admission of few students on the ground that they did not have degrees recognized by the MCI. The petitioners have challenged the admission given to one Mukund Bajaj, who according to the petition, was declared eligible and placed at rank seven of the DM super specialty course merit list, even though the candidate did not have a recognized degree. Pujara stated that the eligibility condition for admission to Doctor of Medicine and Masters of Chirugie (super specialty) medical courses as laid down by the MCI is that the candidates applying must possess recognized degree of MD or MS.
Bajaj attained his MD degree from Ambejogai Medical College which is not recognized by the MCI, the petition states.
However, during the course of hearing, it was pointed out to a division bench of Justice D K Deshmukh and Justice R S Mohite by Bajaj's counsel that the state government in their 2008 rules had omitted certain part of the rules due to which the criteria did not get limited to degrees recognized by the MCI.

Doctor-state tussle likely to worsen PG seat crisis
Doctor-state tussle likely to worsen PG seat crisis

Mumbai: The tussle between the government and teaching doctors over the recently issued government resolution (GR) and the latter threatening to join private colleges might just aggravate the shortage of post-graduate (PG) medical seats in the state.
DNA had published a report on June 12 about the GR, issued on May 4 by the medical education department, which regularised the services of temporary teaching doctors but nullified their experience by stating that January 22, 2009, will be noted as their joining date. Following the GR, private colleges have opened up their doors for disgruntled professors fearing a loss in their seniority.
Over the last few years, while the number of PG seats in government colleges has steadily declined, seats in private colleges have risen. "Competition for PG seats is becoming tougher and the chances of middle-class students studying medicine are diminishing," lamented Dr Anil Mukund, who is seeking a PG seat.
In 2008, the number of PG seats was to 411 from 653 in 2007 due to a lack of professors. This year, though, there are roughly 700 seats available.
The situation is not surprising given that one of the most prestigious medical colleges in the country, the Grant Medical College, attached to the JJ Hospital, is languishing due to a lack of experienced hands. For instance, the plastic surgery department has not had a professor for the last 6 years; the endocrine department has shut down for want of professors; and 12 dialysis machines in the nephrology department are lying idle for want of a nephrologist.
In Maharashtra, only about 20-25% of PG aspirants actually get a seat. "I ranked 250 out of 8,400 students and I barely managed to get a seat," said Dr Ameya Amrutwar, a final-year PG student of psychiatry at Sion Hospital. More than 10,000 students will vie for 700-odd PG seats this year.
Students then pay phenomenal fees in private colleges. "The amount ranges from Rs 40lakh for surgery to Rs 55 lakh for orthopaedic," said Amrutwar.
"Most professors are moving to private hospitals for better pay packages and we will have to think of bridging the gap," said state health minister Rajesh Tope.
Directorate of Medical Education and Research joint director Dr Pravin Shingare said there are about 200 PG seats in private colleges and they have not gone up as they are too face a crunch in teaching faculty.
Private colleges that stand to gain from the GR
- NKP Salve Medical College, Nagpur -- owned by Ranjit Deshmukh, who was once a minister and chief of the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee
- DY Patil Dental College, Pune -- owned by veteran Congress leader DY Patil
- NDMVPS Medical College, Nashik -- owned by the sitting MLA of the NCP Vasantrao Pawar
- Vasantdada Patil Dental College, Miraj, Sangli -- run by Vasantdada Patil Trust
- Sharad Pawar Dental College, Wardha -- run by Datta Meghe
- Bharatiya Vidyapeeth College -- owned by state revenue minister Patangrao Kadam
- Terna Public Charitable Trust -- owned by MP from NCP Padamsinh Patil
Geeta Sukumaran, 55, lecturer, bio-chemistry, JJ Hospital
After 32 years of service, the last thing Sukumaran deserves is retiring without pension benefits. She is still waiting for a promotion to the post of associate professor and a letter from the government saying that she is a permanent employee. "The GR is unfair on us," she said, adding that she just has a year to retire. "I joined the government service in 1977 when there weren't enough teachers." Despite having a first class post-graduate degree in chemistry, she chose to join a government college. There were many occasions when she was asked to submit documents to get her services regularised but till date she is a temporary employee. Many of her students have become permanent doctors in government hospitals. "I hope during retirement the government takes up the issue on case-to-case basis."
