INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Hyderabad: Scores of students belonging to Telangana state have been denied an opportunity to participate in the second phase of counselling
for admission into the first year MBBS by the Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS).These students were allotted seats
under the convener quota in the first phase but were barred from the second phase as they had joined Siddhartha Medical College (SMC),
But students from Andhra and Rayalaseema who also took admission in the same college are extended the privilege by their health university
Students from Telangana state get admission in SMC by virtue of their Osmania University local status
After the first phase of counselling in Telangana state which ended on December 10, the NTR University of Health Sciences (NTRUHS) of Andhra
allotted to us in the first phase in Telangana state
When we got allotment in Siddhartha, the NTRUHS insisted that we produce the original certificates
The KNRUHS and the respective colleges in Telangana state forced us to give an undertaking that we are surrendering the seat to give
college which directly obtains certificates from the first college
students did not join colleges allotted to them in the first phase of counselling
However, blocking of seats are done in the private colleges but in case of Siddhartha Medical College the students were allotted seat by the
convener under the OU quota
Even if they are allowed in the second phase of counselling and move to another college, students next in the merit order from Telangana
state would get the seat in Siddhartha Medical College.
