Government told to redefine merit quota

By Our Special Correspondent

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, JUNE 8. The Association of Self-financing Medical, Dental, Ayurveda and Sidha Colleges has urged the Government to redefine the merit quota.

Speaking to mediapersons, George Paul of the Kolencherry Medical College, who is also the chairman of the Association, said the Government had promised to consider their suggestions favourably. He said the Government should think of an arrangement or an Ordinance that would be within the framework of the Supreme Court verdict. He said the managements had suggested fixing an income limit of Rs. 1 lakh for admissions under the merit quota.

According to the managements, 95 per cent of those who got admissions to self-financing institutions were those who belonged to the economically forward sections.
