The entrance exam is now likely to be conducted on 21st, 22nd and 23rd May instead of 3rd, 4th, and 5th May. Following a revised time table, fresh dates have been forwarded to the government for approval.

Proposal For Common Entrance Exam For Medical Courses
The Board of Governors of Medical Council of India (MCI) has put forward a proposal to conduct a common entrance test for medical courses from the next academic session. This common entrance test will cover both under-graduate and post graduate courses conducted by private and government medical colleges. The purpose of this initiative is to reduce the burden of students. President of the Board, Dr. S.K Sarin said, "A common entrance will reduce the hassles for students appearing for medical exams. At present, students have to give 10–15 different exams for medical courses, which can be highly stressful to both the student and his family.
