BENGALURU: In a relief to thousands of postgraduate dental students, the Centre has allowed the state government to complete MDS counselling for academic year 2021-22.
Even as the Dental Council of India had set November 20 as the last date for admission to MDS courses, Karnataka conducted counselling only in December. With this, admissions were not approved and the state was forced to approach the Centre and the Supreme Court for an extension of the last date.
In a letter signed on Thursday, the Union government said “as an exceptional circumstance”, approval has been granted to complete the process of MDS counselling “within one week from the date of issue of the letter”.
The letter is in response to the state’s repeated requests to extend the last date of admission and the pending writ petition in Supreme Court.
