Punjab wants DCI to turn illegal into legal

Hindustan Times  

The Punjab government has sought "views/concurrence" of the Dental Council of India before giving the legal sanctity to 11 private dental colleges' illegal move of admitting 456 students to the Bachelor of Dental Surgery course who had "not qualified" the 2012 Pre-Medical Entrance Test. Evading the DCI's terse direction to take "necessary action strictly" against the erring private dental colleges, which in gross violation of the rules also admitted 11 such candidates to the BDS course who did not even appear in the PMET, the state government on May 17 mooted a proposal to the DCI for "regularisation of the admissions" in view of the "interest and career" of these "large number of candidates". The government, in January, had intimated the DCI that 11 private dental colleges "at their own level" had admitted students to the BDS course in gross violation of the rules, regulations and guidelines and that these admissions "have not been regularised" by the BFUHS. "There were a large number of seats lying vacant after the second centralised counselling and private dental colleges admitted candidates at their own as per previous years' practice," reads the V-C's letter.
