Counselling for DM/MCh deferred as candidates allege anomalies

LUCKNOW Counselling for DM/MCh 2019 batch was postponed for a day on Tuesday after candidates staged protest, alleging violation of rules in the process. The matter was later resolved, after which the candidates were called on Wednesday, said officials.

While taking admission to PG courses, these candidates had signed a bond to serve government medical institutions and hence they came for the counselling session to select posts in different government medical institutions.

“We are here to get a seat to serve government institutions under a bond which we had filled before joining DM/Mch batch in 2019. As per the bond, we had to serve two years in a government institution after completing the course and we are ready for it. But the seats being offered are not of super speciality level,” said one of the candidates who came for counselling at the Directorate of Medical Education.

“The issue has been resolved and now counselling will be held on November 16 for the entire batch,” said Shruti Singh, director-general (medical education).
