TN removes Clause asking PWD NEET PG candidates to send photos of disability
Chennai: The Tamil Nadu Government has recently removed a "discriminatory clause" that made it mandatory for the PWD candidates seeking PG medical and dental admissions, for attaching images of their "deformity".
Issuing a notification in this regard, the Secretary to the Selection Committee of DME, Dr. R Muthuselvan mentioned, "The serial number 4 in the special category form for the person with disabilities in the prospectus of the post graduate degree / diploma and MDS Courses in government medical/dental colleges, government quota in self-financing medical/dental colleges for 2022-23 session is deleted."
The State DME has further mentioned that the candidates who want to be considered for admission under the special category "may submit their recent passport-size image (taken within three months) displaying the person with disability's face exclusively in the enclosed format of the special category."
