NSF seeks clarification on MBBS & BDS selection

Kohima, September 3, 2014: The Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) has demanded from the Department of Technical Education (DoTE) that the merit selection list of candidates for MBBS and BDS courses should be produced strictly on fulfilling the term and condition as mentioned in Point No. iv of the Department advertisement No.DTE/TECH-A/17/2014/ dated July 23, 2014 for Nagaland State Pre Medical Test (NSPMT).

In a representation to the Commissioner & Secretary, DoTE, the NSF stated this in regard to the “merit provisional selection” of students to undergo MBBS and BDS courses, 2014.

“When hundreds of Naga students are appearing competitive examination to undergo courses in MBBS and BDS, it is uncalled for when certain anomalies and lack of transparency has surfaced in the merit selection list whereby, the merit students are being denied of their legitimate position and privileges,” stated the NSF.

The NSF demanded the Department to clarify to the Federation and the general public on “the confusion as on what basis the candidates who could not secure 40% cut-off mark in the NSPMT were selected to undergo MBBS and BDS courses.”
