According to the guidelines for Allocation of MBBS/BDS Seats from Central Pool for spouse and children of terrorist victims for the academic year 2022-23, priority would be given to children who have lost both parents to terrorists. Second on the list would be children of families that lost their sole breadwinner and the third would be wards of victims with permanent disability and serious injury caused due to terrorist attacks, the MHA said.
Seats have been allotted in four MBBS institutes — AN Magadh Medical College, Gaya, Bihar (1); Grant Medical College, Mumbai, Maharashtra (1); and Pt JNM Medical College, Raipur, Chhattisgarh (2).
“It is intimated that this Ministry is not conducting any examination in this regard; the selection will be made only on the basis of marks obtained by the students in NEET-UG 2022 and possessing necessary educational qualification,” MHA said.
It added: “It is requested that the State Government (s)/Union Territory Administration(s) may kindly give wide publicity while inviting application(s) from eligible candidates as indicated above for the academic year 2022-23 for allocation of MBBS/BDS seats from Central Pool for spouse and children of terrorist victims.”
