Med aspirants to vie for 1,250 seats in admission round 2

Of the 670 seats, 150 in ACPM Medical College in Dhule, which is embroiled in a court case following its de-recognition by the National Medical Commission, is yet to get approval. A government resolution for Tasgaonkar College, the new college at Karjat, is yet to be released by the state, said a university official. Barring these 250 seats, most other colleges are approved by the MUHS.

An official from the CET cell, however, said that they are yet to get a final list from the university. Seats in the new government college-approved at Sindhudurg, for which CET cell had taken preferences from Med aspirants will also be allotted in the second round.

Parents, however, said many of the available seats are likely to be from the NRI quota. Parent representative, Sudha Shenoy, said about one-third of the 1,250 seats could be from the NRI quota. So students will get around 750 seats in the second round, likely to be held in the coming week. In dental admissions, around 50% of the 2,675 seats are vacant for the second round of admission
