MERIT LISTS

The  College  recognises  that  merit  is  not  merely  academic  but  is  in  addition,  other  factors,  which  go towards  suitability  to  pursue  a  professional  career.  Selections  are  based  on  two  broad  categories-  Open and Sponsored. Selection will be based on inter-se merit within these groups.

For e.g. in the MBBS course these are further subdivided into groups as follows:

Open:   16  seats,  where  SC/ST  reservation  of  20%  applies,  and  1  seat  is  earmarked  for  the  “Central  Pool Scheme” by the Government of India.

Sponsored: 84 seats are filled by sponsored candidates.

REGISTRATION FOR ADMISSION OF SELECTED CANDIDATES INTO THE RESPECTIVE COURSES

Selected  candidates  must  report  at  the  time  and  place  specified  to  register  for  the  respective  courses.

Failure  to  complete  registration  formalities  will  lead  to  cancellation  of  selection  and  registration  of  waitlisted candidates instead.

 WAITING LIST

Two  waiting  lists  will  be  maintained  for  each  of  the  courses  –  Open  and  Sponsored.  If  a  candidate withdraws  from  a  course,  the  next  candidate  on  the  respective  waiting  list  will  fill  that  seat.  However,  if there  are  no  more  candidates  on  that  particular  waitlist,  the  next  candidate  from  the  other  list  will  be invited to join.
