Bengaluru, DHNS: The state government has sought 25% seat share from the minority medical and dental colleges through CET counselling.

According to a senior member of the minority colleges’ association, who had earlier this week met Medical Education Minister Dr Sharan Prakash Patil, the government is demanding 25% of seat share as per the consensual agreement, which states minority colleges will have to give the state government its quota of seats through CET.

The colleges, however, sought time to take a decision. “We have sought 15 days’ time. Filling seats through CET would mean double standards. When NEET has been declared, the sole exam for medical seats, is it not injustice if we take students based on CET ranking?” an association member said.

The government also had a meeting with private unaided colleges and sought a 40% seat share. But the private colleges refused, saying the agreement with the government was invalid following the NEET ordinance. Patil has sought a legal opinion in this regard.
