A day after Karnataka Professional Colleges Foundation announced that it is willing to offer seats under the Common Entrance Test (CET) pool if the State government enhanced the fee, many private medical colleges distanced themselves from the foundation’s offer.
A representative of a private medical college in the city said on Wednesday that they would refuse to part with the government-quota seats. “Moreover, giving 85 per cent seats to the State government is not an option as the other seats will have to be filled through NEET,” the representative said.
Meanwhile, a source in the Medical Education Department said the government had received official permission for all the 16 government medical colleges and that they were preparing the seat matrix. “But the decision on whether we would announce the matrix only for government medical college seats or wait for the impasse on the government-quota seats to end and release the matrix of both the categories is yet to be decided,” the source said.
