To hold postgraduate entrance test on January 27

BANGALORE: The Consortium of Medical, Engineering and Dental Colleges of Karnataka (COMED-K) and the Government on Wednesday decided to go by last year’s consensus formula for fee structure and sharing of the postgraduate medical and dental seats in its member colleges.

Under the consensus formula, 33 per cent of the seats were set aside for the government quota, which were offered to students with a 33 per cent fee concession. The Consortium already notified that its Post Graduate Entrance Test (COMEDK PGET 2008) will be held on January 27, 2008 for admission to postgraduate courses offered by colleges attached to the Karnataka Private Medical and Dental Colleges Association, and the Karnataka Unaided Private Engineering Colleges’ Association.

Meeting

On Wednesday, the association members met the Secretary, Medical Education Department and other government department secretaries and decided to stick to last year’s formula. The Supreme Court had approved the Memorandum of Understanding between the State Government and the private college associations earlier.

Undergraduate fees

However for a decision on the UG admission process, they decided to wait till the new Government took charge.
