New Delhi- A letter has been issued by the Deputy Secretary, Dental Council of India (DCI), to the principals of all dental colleges in India regarding uploading the details of students admitted to MDS/PG Diploma courses in dental colleges for the academic session 2024-25 on the official website of DCI.

Through the letter, Mr Kumar has stated that as per the Counseling Schedule issued by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) for Online Counseling (Allotment Process) for National Eligibility- Entrance Test (NEET) 50% AIQ and 100% Deemed / Central Universities & State Quota seats for MDS Courses for the academic year 2024, the MCC declared that the last date for joining is 14th September 2024 and the commencement of academic session for PG Courses is 1st August, 2024 for the academic year 2024-25.

On this, the college authorities of all dental colleges are hereby directed to upload the details of students, admitted to MDS / PG Diploma Course(s) at their dental institution for the academic session 2024-25, on DCI Website, using their already allotted login credentials for admissions on or before the last date of joining i.e. 14th September 2024 (12:00 midnight), positively.

It is also informed, that only uploaded details of students on the DCI Website will be considered and any detail of students received in any other format viz. e-mail or hard copy will not be considered at all, therefore, the college authorities are requested not to send the subject details through e-mail or post or any other mode. It is also stated that no request for an extension of time to upload the above details of students or any other excuse or reason of technical fault, etc. will be considered, therefore, the college authorities are again requested to ensure and make available all arrangements at your end to complete the above task, in time, to avoid any litigation and to enable this Council to take necessary action in a time bound manner.

IMPORTANT POINTS

1 To ensure the smooth uploading of the details of students and to avoid unnecessary delay, undue pressure and technical faults on the network, in uploading the details of the students at the last moment of the cut-off date, each and every dental institution shall make its efforts to upload the details of students gradually, immediately after the date of joining of student of each round of counselling, but not later than 12.00 Midnight of 14th September 2024 in any circumstance. In other words, the college shall not wait to upload the details of its students for the last moment of the cut-off date and the details would be uploaded by the college after each round of counselling.

2 Moreover, it has come to notice that some dental colleges upload the details of students who are not admitted to their college, because of which the college where the student has actually taken admission is unable to upload the details. Colleges are hereby strictly warned to upload the details of only the genuine and bonafide admissions of their college. The onus of furnishing true, correct and authentic information is upon the college concerned and in case of furnishing any wrong/incorrect information, it shall be open to DCI to initiate action against / penalize the college.

3 Only the uploaded details of students on the DCI portal shall be forwarded to the State Dental Councils / Tribunals for addition of MDS / PG Diploma Qualification.

Furthermore, in case of any difficulty, the college authorities may contact DCI for technical support. All the concerned competent authorities are requested to kindly ensure that the college authorities comply with the above stipulations in totality. This issues with the approval of the competent authority.
