pediatricianBy: dr deepak singla | Tuesday , 21 Jul '09 12:16:12 PM Reply | Forward The idea of a single test for MBBS is very good. Govt does not have to anything extra. We already have AIPMT test being conducted as per the supereme court guidelines which is reliable and valid test and it is conducted in Ist phase as objective and in the second phase as objective. Govt. just has to empower this test and include all the 15% seats from private medical colleges or to make it like AIEEE.Manipal university also conducts a computerized enterance test which can be used for all the pvt colleges .Another suggestion, some preimer medical institutes like AIIMS, AFMC, CMC Ludhiana, CMC Vellor, BHU, AMU, Saint Johns Banglore take separate entrance test. All these inst. can also be asked to take a single entrance test so that trauma to the child and parents can be minimized. On an average a child appears in 15-20 exams which is huge financial, mental load and makes the time table very confusing.also result of one exam is bound to affect the performance of a chil

need to slightly edit the decisionBy: ASHISH | Thursday , 16 Jul '09 19:38:10 PM Reply | Forward Its a good decision to take single entrance exam for medical colleges, but it will unfair to those students whose three attempt for AIPMT has been exhausted. They drop for another year in desire to become a doctor through state level pre medical exams. So i think this method of conducting exam should made from 2011 or either the limitation of attempts should be made off.

Medical education in India By: Dr. Sajal jain | Saturday , 11 Jul '09 0:18:45 AM Reply | Forward Education is the backbone of any society. India require a great change in the way Education has been commercialised by the businessmen and politicians turned educators selling degrees in the garb of providing education. One can buy MBBS or BDS degree from Private Institutions and deemed Universities without even attending college and just being present on the date of Examination for a fee of course. Mr. Kapil Sibal has atask cutout for him to have Quality in Education or let India take a back seat in world order. Not only do we require a merit based foolproof tamper free system of entrance in Higher education but also have an examination at the end of the degree to have a check at the compeletion of degree to know which institutions perform the teaching and which ones sell degrees . Check at the end is more important than at the begining as the end result of education will check the caliber of teaching and final assesment of the education process can be made.
