Delay in admission: MBBS aspirants, parents left in lurch

The centralized admission committee in Puducherry has failed to complete the MBBS admissions process before the September 30 deadline, leaving students and parents in a difficult situation. The committee should have concluded the admission process by holding multiple rounds of counseling, but it has not done so. The government has requested an extension from the Union health and family welfare ministry and the National Medical Commission to complete the admissions. This delay may result in private institutions taking advantage of students and parents by demanding higher fees.
