NEET ordinance: Medical Fraternity Divided
Advertisement
New Delhi: The confusion with the NEET seemed evident with the medical fraternity itself showing mixed responses to the Cabinet's ordinance on the issue. With the announcement of the ordinance IMA came out instantly in support of the ordinance, while DMA openly opposed it.
It is reported that the Delhi Medical Association under the leadership of Dr Rakesh Gupta (President, DMA) has written a letter to the President of India, urging him not to sign the NEET ordinance.
Indian Medical Association (IMA) welcomed the Centres decision to keep the state boards out of the ambit of common medical entrance exam, NEET, for one year but the Delhi unit of the doctors body "strongly opposed" the move saying, corruption prevails in state-run medical colleges.
"IMA supports the Centres ordinance to keep state boards out of the ambit of common medical entrance exams for one year on the ground that there is no inequality in terms of curriculum or language barrier for students appearing both for state and central exams," Secretary General of IMA, Dr K K Aggarwal said.
