HC questions alleged bias in ultrasound training course admissions in Rajasthan
Jaipur:
Rajasthan High Court
issued notices to the secretary of medical education and the chairman of NEET PG counselling board Tuesday, questioning the alleged discrimination against doctors who completed their MBBS outside of Rajasthan for admission to the six-month
ultrasound training course
in Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT).
Justice Sameer Jain
issued the notice after a petition was filed by
Dr Supriya Gupta
, who argued that the admission process unfairly prioritised doctors graduating from medical colleges in Rajasthan. Gupta's petition challenged the admission criteria.
The petitioner's counsel, Tanveer Ahmed, alleged discrimination in the NEET PG Counselling Board's April 22 advertisement for the ultrasound training course under PCPNDT. The advertisement's provisions state that doctors who studied MBBS at Rajasthan medical colleges will be preferred in the first round, while 'outside' candidates will only be considered in the second and subsequent rounds.

Seminar on MBBS, global education pathways in Pune draws enthusiastic response
1 2 P une: A large gathering of aspiring students and parents attended an informative Mission Admission seminar organised by The Times of India jointly with The Astute Academy at Dr. Kalmadi Shamarao Junior College auditorium on Sunday. Conducted by Tushar Vinod Deoras, a former BARC scientist and chairman of Astute Academy, the seminar aimed to demystify the complexities of Indian and international admissions for MBBS and higher education. The first session focused on the Indian MBBS admission process, offering clarity for students with NEET scores as low as 200. Attendees also learned about affordable pathways to study medicine in the United States through structured Indo-American university collaborations. The second session delved into undergraduate and postgraduate admissions in the US and Germany. Parents and students were provided with detailed guidance on securing spots at prestigious universities abroad. During the first session, Deoras shared a wealth of information. He pointed out that many private medical colleges offer donation-free management quota merit seats. He explained fee structures, wherein funding is controlled by govt, and proposed to students tripartite Indo-American university partnered systems, which provide affordable, sophisticated modern medical education in the US and subsequently offer employer-relevant value around the globe. The second session was about undergraduate and postgraduate courses offered in the US and Germany, particularly emphasising on Ivy League schools and Germany's technical universities. Deoras noted how flexible and multidisciplinary the US system is, with more emphasis on career focus than rigid course structures. He urged students to start building their profiles as early as Std IX and to apply to international universities at least one year in advance, as most operate on a first-come, first-served basis. He said, "Quality education and a successful career are a student's fundamental right. Students and parents should not judge countries by stereotypes but understand which system aligns best with the student's goals." A highlight of the seminar was its interactive nature. One parent shared, "The session was very enlightening. Many doubts regarding my son's education were resolved, and I feel much more at peace now." Another participant raised a query about dentistry as a career path, to which Deoras responded that it remains an underappreciated but highly rewarding field in India. While initial years in practice may be challenging, dentistry offers significant long-term growth and financial prospects. Deoras also addressed several audience questions about state-wise admission quotas for MBBS, the application process for foreign universities, and the admission timelines and requirements for medical education abroad. The seminar concluded with a positive response from the audience who appreciated the transparency, practical guidance, and motivational approach.
