Ideal PG Medical Counselling

My Idea for Ideal PG Entrance (Rough Sketch)

1. One common exam is conducted and Rank released for ALL Candidates

Update : We shall have 2 exams. One AIPG conducted and another State PG... All State PG Exams should be conducted on THE SAME Day

2. 25 % seats for All India Quota and 75 % seats for State Quota or Institute Quota

3. The 25 % shall be for open exclusively and the states (or Insitutes) can have their regulations for seat distribution within their alloted 75 %

4. A Merit List is Made with the following details

a. General Rank from AIPG
b. State General Rank or Institute General Rank from State PG
c. Rank in Reserved Category for State (Community, In Service, Domicillary, Institute or whatever) from State PG

5. Seats are earmarked for Each Category

6. ONE And ONLY one counselling conducted (may be simultaneously in various centres by Video Conferencing)

7. When a candidate walks in for counselling, You show him the seats available at the moment for his rank in

a. All India Quota
b. State (or Institute ) Open Quota
c. State or Insitute Reservation Quota

8. He is free to choose from any of the above, but Can Choose Only One

9. The candidate takes a seat, PAYS THE FULL TUITION FEES and walks out with the allotment letter. Seats are NOT alloted if the candidate does not pay the fees. Or the candidate who takes a seat should submit a declaration that he will not write PG Entrance exam for 2 more years
---------------------------------------------------

This may sound UTOPIAN to you, but do remember that 2 decades ago there were interviews IN EACH Medical College for PG seats............ Any one telling you that there will be COMMON entrance exam for the WHOLE STATE will be laughed off then....... Similarly, to imagine a SINGLE entrance exam for the whole country is little difficult, but the need of the hour.

Advantages
1. No need to apply and write for many exams
2. Preservation of Reservation
3. Avoiding manipualtions at the state level
4. Avoiding "Blocks"
5. Common Question Paper and Common Merit List
