Sr citizens too enter the fray for MBBS seats
Chennai: At least three senior citizens, aged 68, 67, and 60, including two lawyers, who cleared the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) 2025, applied for MBBS admissions in Tamil Nadu. State selection committee officials said there are at least 25 people, including professionals such as dentists, nurses, homoeopaths, siddha practitioners, lab technicians, and lawyers, above the age of 35 years competing for the undergraduate medical and dental courses. The National Medical Commission, the apex body regulating medical education in India, has said there is no bar on age or the number of attempts to appear for the qualifying examination. Merit in NEET is the sole criterion for admissions to medical or dental colleges across India. "This year, we see many graduates and professionals aspiring for a medical or dental seat. It's the highest number of middle-age and older applicants we have seen since 2017," said a senior official. They may not have adequate score to compete against younger candidates, but some have secured marks that could secure them a seat under the 69% reservation category and permit them to study medicine at a subsidised cost at a govt college or free of cost at a private college. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Prostate Issues?

Under this scheme, students pursue medicine in govt or private colleges free of cost. The govt pays the fees and takes care of the boarding charges. While the govt has not given a ceiling on age or attempts, officials are seeing technical hitches as not all documents match the requirements. "Most of them have documents that may be equal but don't match requirements mentioned in the prospectus," an official said. "Some people have given pre-university course scores instead of a Class XII mark sheet. In some cases, a Class XII subject is mentioned as natural sciences; instead of biology, botany or zoology. We don't know if we must allow them to appear for counselling, reject their applications or give them time to get equivalence certificates," he added. Furthermore, the core debate among officials is whether this special quota should extend to all graduates, regardless of age. While officials are discussing this with health secretary P Senthilkumar and consulting legal departments, educationalists and counsellors are raising alarms. "This quota was introduced only because there was no level playing field in NEET. Unlike other students, govt school students cannot afford coaching in private tutorials," said Dr Karthikeyan R, who runs Aatrupadai Foundation, an NGO that offers free NEET coaching. "Asking them to compete with professionals, who have access to private training institutes, is unfair," he said. Student counsellors such as Manickavel Arumugam argue that the state cannot give fee subsidies either. "Will a senior citizen be able to complete the strenuous course? Will they be able to work 24-hour shifts during house surgery? " he said. "If people quit the course in between, they must be asked to pay a fine of 10 lakh and the entire non-subsidised course fee," he added.

Experts: 4 out of 10 Indians hit by fatty liver, teetotallers also at risk
Bhubaneswar: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), or fatty liver disease, is fast emerging as a major global health challenge, experts said at the Metabolic Horizon-2025 conference organised here on Saturday. They pointed out that four out of ten people in India are now affected by this condition. Many people still believe that only those who consume alcohol are at risk of developing fatty liver disease. However, experts warned that even teetotallers can suffer from fatty liver disease. "Fat gets deposited in the liver due to certain metabolic conditions, including diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol, negligible physical activity, and some diseases and drugs. Previously, when we found fat in the liver, we did not worry much. But once we discovered that MASLD is a common cause of cirrhosis, we began taking it seriously," said Dr Abhay Sahoo, an endocrinologist. Sahoo stated that initially, fat accumulates slowly in the liver, a condition known as hepatic steatosis. "After about five years, inflammation begins, and the liver becomes swollen. In the next stage, it progresses to fibrosis, which can eventually lead to cirrhosis. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Upto 15% Discount for Salaried Individuals ICICI Pru Life Insurance Plan Get Quote Undo We can reverse fatty liver in its early stage, but once fibrosis sets in, there is little chance of reversing the damage," he added. Sahoo said that people with fatty liver disease are usually asymptomatic. "They often do not experience any symptoms until the condition becomes severe. Some people may feel pain or discomfort on the right side of the abdomen. We often detect MASLD incidentally during an ultrasound or other tests," he said. Dr Satyajit Tripathy, a diabetologist, added that liver function tests (LFT), ultrasound scans, and even a fibroscan can help detect MASLD and assess liver elasticity. "This advanced test can detect fibrosis in the liver. A liver biopsy is another method to diagnose the disease," Tripathy said. He added that untreated MASLD can lead to more serious complications. "Exercises such as walking and yoga, along with dietary control and lifestyle changes, can help reverse this metabolic disorder if caught early. We need to maintain a healthy work-life balance and reduce fat accumulation, especially around the belly. A balanced diet is key to reducing liver fat. Even regular walking combined with a good diet can lower the risk of MASLD. Following a proper circadian rhythm is also important for a healthy lifestyle," said Tripathy.
