Super speciality seats in govt colleges open to all who wrote NEET-SS

Chennai: At least 40 super-speciality medical seats for courses such as cardiology, nephrology, gastroenterology, and cardiac surgery in premium state-run institutions such as Madras Medical College, Stanley Medical College and Madurai Medical College, are lying vacant after two rounds of counselling. They will now be open to all those who appeared for NEET-SS (super speciality). On Monday, the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences reduced the qualifying percentile for NEET-SS 2024 stray round counselling held in March. This means candidates who appeared for the exam, including those who scored negative marks, will be considered eligible for the seats. Senior health ministry officials and doctors in state govt say many doctors with postgraduate degrees aren't keen on pursuing super-speciality as job opportunities are fewer. The state has 412 super-speciality seats across nearly 10 govt colleges, of which 215 seats were reserved for in-service candidates. The state selection committee, which conducts the counselling for in-service candidates, extended the time for interested candidates to apply for counselling by 6 pm on Tuesday and is hoping to get adequate candidates to fill the seats. "Earlier, there were just 116 in-service applicants for 215 seats," said a senior official. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Sacramento: Here's The Average Price of a 6-Hour Gutter Upgrade Read More Undo After the first round, only 30% of candidates took the seats allotted to them, and 70% of seats were vacant.

On Tuesday, the state announced that it would conduct the stray round for service candidates. "We are hoping for all seats to be filled this time," the official said. Over the past few years, seats in premium super-speciality govt colleges across the country have remained vacant. National Medical Commission chairperson Dr Abhijat Shet, who is also the president of National Board of Examinations, told TOI that admission trends have been changing rapidly. "Some specialities, such as cardiology, seem to have reached a saturation point. People see a better career trajectory if they hold on to broader PG specialities such as general medicine or those that will fetch them jobs in labs or imaging services," he said. The board, which regulates diploma medical courses, encourages institutions to stop the course or reduce seats when the demand is low and increase seats in courses for which the demand is high. "It may be difficult to do the same for govt-run degree programmes as funds are allocated, but we must find a way to create seats dynamically," he said. TN Govt Doctors' Association president Dr K Senthil said govt must create at least 500 SS posts. "We don't have courses such as rheumatology, geriatrics, endocrinology, or cardiac surgery in all medical colleges. What will those who pursue these courses do? Most of them are posted in medicine or surgery departments," he said.
