Students pursuing PU in state syllabus can't cope up to the uniform CET: Acharya

November 21, 2011

Udupi, November 21: Students pursuing PU education in the state syllabus, cannot cope up to the uniform Common Entrance Test, proposed to be implemented by the Medical Council of India, for its medical courses, from the next academic year, said Higher Education Minister Dr VS Acharya.

Speaking after inaugurating Udupi Utsav, a trade exhibition cum sale by the Udupi Municipality, at MGM College grounds, Dr Acharya said the state government has resolved to file an affidavit in the Supreme Court, demanding for a grace period of two years, to implement the uniform CET.

Dr Acharya said that before the states could come to know about the proposed uniform CET norms, SC had given its nod to it. There was a gulf of difference between the state and central syllabus. If the state syllabus explained what was Newton's law, central syllabus discussed its impacts also.

Dr Acharya said there were 3.5 lakh students doing PUC in science discipline in the state. Keeping their interests in mind, they would appeal to the central government to implement the uniform CET after two years. State would also file an affidavit before the Supreme Court, he added.

Given a chance our students would be made ready for uniform CET in the year 2014, Dr Acharya said. as 13 states had the similar problem and Tamilnadu had rejected the proposal outright.

MLA K Raghupathi Bhat presided over the function. CMC President Kiran Kumar, Vice President Bharathi Chandrashekhar, Deputy Commissioner MT Reju, SP Ravi Kumar, CMC Commissioner Gokuldas Nayak and others were present on the occasion.
