    MCI joint secretary Dr Rajendra Wabale, in a letter, informed the Health Secretary and the director that the President of the Puducherry UT All Centac Students Parents Association lodged a complaint with the MCI stating that the MBBS admission for the year 2016-17 was illegal. 

    The letter was placed before the  Monitoring Sub-Committee (MSC), which, after going through the letter from Puducherry Lt.Governor Kiran Bedi dated  July 12, 2017 and the report of Justice Chitra Venkataraman who is the Chairperson of Centac, felt that  there was no exemption from NEET for any non-government  medical colleges  for the academic year 2016-17.  The committee decided that  admissions were to be made through common counselling conducted by designated authorities of the government. 

    The Executive committee approved the recommendations of the  MSC and  directed the authorities to discharge all the students  who are not admitted through Centac  for 2016-17.
