Stating that it would not be appropriate to extend the date, a three-judge Bench of the apex court headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra agreed to the argument of Gaurav Sharma, the counsel of Medical Council of India, that extending the date further for admission would lead to chaos.

The apex court had earlier laid down a time schedule for the admissions to medical colleges and on September 4 it directed that the admission process should be completed by September 14, The Tribune reported.
“If we permit ourselves to say so, the concern travelled from rational sphere to emotional sphere. We appreciate the concern, perception and the argument advanced at the Bar,” the SC stated while hearing the matter.
On the other hand, the court had earlier extended the deadline for the final round of counselling for admissions to MBBS and BDS courses till September 7 to fill the 5,500 vacant seats vacant in deemed universities for students who have qualified the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test.

Students who have qualified the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) can avail this final opportunity as no further extension will be granted, the apex court said.
A bench of Chief Justice Dipak Mishra and Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud said, “Time for mop up round counselling is extended till September 7, 2017. This extension shall only be applicable to the deemed universities and none else. Any application by any other college or institution seeking extension shall not be entertained.”
Earlier, the last date for mop-up round, the last step of counselling for NEET seats in various states, was August 31. The Director General of Health Services (DGHS) which is responsible for conducting the counselling had informed the court that over 5,500 seats are still vacant in deemed universities.

The attorney of the deemed universities urged the court to consider the names of NEET qualified candidates in order to maintain the ratio of 1:10. The court directed that the seats should be filled up from among the 55,000 qualified students to maintain the ratio of 1:10.
The judgement by the bench read, “As long as, for the seats which have fallen vacant, the ratio is maintained at 1:10, we do not perceive any difficulty. If 1:10 ratio is not sufficient, the Director General of Health Services is granted liberty to get into the larger NEET list. We order accordingly.”
Students can lock their choices during the two-day counselling exercise. Results will be announced on August 19.
As many as 201 seats have remained vacant of which 109 seats are meant for unreserved category.
The second phase counselling will facilitate admission into vacant seats at eight private medical colleges and all government institutes of the State.

Around 11 lakh students across the country had appeared NEET 2017 conducted on May 7 in which Odisha’s Krishansis Dash secured the 28th rank. A total of 35,000 students had appeared the test from the State.

Verification of necessary documents for admission will be undertaken at nodal centres from July 18 to July 21.
First round of seat allotment list will be declared on July 22.
Choice filling and locking will be held on July 22 and July 23 respectively.

Odisha has more than 1,100 MBBS and BDS seats in six medical colleges out of which 15% seats are for NEET counselling and the process is done under the Directorate General of Health Sciences (DGHS).
On State level counselling...
A tentative schedule of counselling and available seats has been notified on our website. We recommend students to wait till the time we publish a full-fledged schedule and the detailed process of counselling. Tentatively, we are planning to start the registration process from July 15.
On NEET-qualified students from State...
For NIT-qualified students, Government of India has a 15% quota for government seats. The rest 85% have to be filled up through counselling by States. For the time being the NEET-qualified students of the State should be aware that they can register for 15 % All-India government seats quota across all colleges on the website -www.mcc.nic.in/. Similarly, students can apply for all the deemed universities of the country on the website separately. The registrations for these have already begun, so interested students can apply separately for government seats and deemed university seats. For the rest 85% seats, in case of Odisha, registration process will tentatively start from July 15.
On dilemma over NEET & State counselling...
This issue is currently governed by the guidelines of the Supreme Court. As per the court guidelines all the state counselling can only proceed after the National-level counselling. Those who get selected into Government of India colleges and take admissions are not eligible to participate in any other counselling. Hence, parents and students should decide as to which counselling they want to participate and the colleges.
Restrictions pertaining to counselling & admissions?
There are absolutely no restrictions as far as registrations into the various counselling goes. The restriction will apply in case a student takes part in a particular counselling and takes admission on being selected in the same. One taken admission, he/she cannot take part in other counselling. The norm followed here is that if a student takes admission in a particular medical college, he/she should not look forward to block seats elsewhere. Students should be disciplined enough.
Recommendations to students...
The advantage of online counselling is that a student can take part in the process to assess his eligibility for colleges. If a student is satisfied then go ahead with admission. If not satisfied don’t take admission so that other options remain open. If a student is not happy with the All-India allotment then he is recommended not to take admission.
How students will know their ranks for State counselling?
Once the registrations for the State-conducted counselling are over, we will come out with the NEET mark and the All-India ranks for registered students only so that they can compare.
For registration, candidates can log into the website of the Medical Counselling Committee which is conducting the counselling.
The process of registration and choice filling of subjects will continue till 5PM of July 11. On July 12, choices of the students will be locked and seat allotments will be done on July 13 and July 14.
The results of the counselling will be announced on July 15 following which students will have to report at their colleges from July 16 and July 22 (5PM).
The second phase of registrations will begin from August 1.
Conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), around 35,000 from Odisha had appeared the NEET. The results of the test were declared on June 23.
Krishansis Dash of Odisha has secured an all India rank of 28 in NEET 2017.
The results are available on www.aiimsexams.org and official websites of all the seven AIIMS. Student roll numbers, name of the candidates, all-India ranks and percentile of those who have qualified for the first phase counselling scheduled from July 3 have been published on the website.
More than 1.5 lakh candidates had appeared for the national level medical entrance held on May 28 at various centres across the country.
The Health department has notified the Skill Development and Technical Education department about the decision which will leave colleges with only 15% seats for which they can conduct their own counselling. Such a step has been taken is in pursuant with the guidelines to the central government guidelines.
“As we have received instructions from the Central government we are forced to implement it. We have taken a decision to that we will conduct counselling in the 85% of the seats under State Quota. We have already informed the concerned department and the OJEE and DMET authorities will act accordingly,” informed additional secretary of Health department, Surjit Das.

Many feel that this step will rein in arbitrary practices in terms of the collecting fees and also conducting admissions by private medical colleges and deemed universities.
From the current academic session, common counselling will be conducted for MBBS and BDS seats in private medical colleges. The seats will be filled up based on the All-India entrance examination ranks. However, the admission fees are yet to be finalized for the colleges.
“In cases where we need clarifications on various aspects to implement the rules, we will discuss it with the State government and we will clarify the students everything prior to commencement of the admission process,” said OJEE chairman, Tushar Kumar Nath.
The Central government has already sent a letter making it mandatory to have common counselling for admission to Under Graduate and Post Graduate courses in all medical institutions.
In a letter sent to all principal secretaries of States and Union Territories, the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare noted, “There shall be no exemption from common counselling and all institutions including private medical colleges/ Deemed Universities shall be covered under it.”
Also Read: Odisha govt to regulate counselling for admissions into all…
“The Government of India has given clear instructions on March 10 that the MBBS and BDS admissions will be conducted through common counselling. In this regard, there is no clarity on the percentages to be considered for deemed universities. So, we will wait for the State government to take a clear decision and conduct the counselling likewise,” said OJEE chairman Tushar Kumar Nath.
In an earlier notification the Centre had asked the State governments that they may preferably conduct common counselling for all medical colleges for admissions into PG courses. However, the State government did not go for common counselling and the deemed universities conducted their own counselling to fill up the seats.
“This is an opportunity for the Odisha government to implement this step which will benefit the students,” says educationist, Pritish Acharya.
“The counselling was earlier done for both private and government medical colleges. But this year, state authorities will also do the counselling for the medical colleges under the deemed universities,” said Joint Director, Directorate of Medical Education and Training (DMET), Umakant Satpathy.
As per plans, the state counselling authority shall conduct the combined counselling including the 50 percent seats of medical colleges under the deemed universities.

According to a government notification, “The state quota seats shall be filled up by way of counselling from amongst the candidates whose names will figure in the PG (Medical) 2017 State Merit List. Similarly, the seats of the deemed universities shall be filled by way of counselling from amongst the candidates whose name will appear in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) PG 2017 All India Merit List.”
The state government is keen to follow the same format not only for PG courses but also for admissions into MBBS and BDS courses. The move is expected to bring uniformity and the course fees, which have been a cause of concern students as well as their guardians, charged by such private medical institutions can be regulated.
Earlier, the Medical Council of India (MCI) had also issued guidelines for streamlining and bringing transparency in medical admissions in the country.
“This will bring transparency as the government will do the counselling of both private and deemed universities which will be in accordance of the Supreme Court and MCI directions,” said additional secretary of Health department, Surajit Das.
Educationist Sudarshan Das said that the move is expected to curb the commercialisation of medical education as well as other irregularities.
Adjudicating a special leave petition (SLP) filed by Medical Council of India (MCI) and Odisha government against the judgment of Orissa High Court which had allowed the Hi-Tech authorities to admit students for 2015-16, the apex court rejected the admission of the students.
The court also ‘set aside’ the interim order of the HC pronounced in favour of Hi-Tech medical college in 2015.
The college authorities had moved the High Court, challenging the MCI order disallowing admission in the MBBS and BDS streams citing lack of adequate infrastructure.
Based on HC’s interim order, the Hi-Tech authorities had admitted students through an entrance test, violating The Orissa Professional Educational Institutions (Regulation of Admission and Fixation of Fee) Act, 2007.
In November 2015, the apex court had ordered a stay on the admission in 100 Medical seats in Hi-Tech Medical College and Hospital, Rourkela. The verdict came after the MCI moved the apex court following the High Court verdict.
Now since the court in its order has said ‘the students or the institution cannot claim any equities’, the fate of the students has been pushed into darkness.
“Had this court order come before our admission, we would have chosen a different career. After investing so much of money and time, what we’ll do now,” asked Shakti Swarup, a student of the institute.
Reacting on the development educationists opine that the State government must solve the students’ admission issue.
“At first the Hi-tech Group of Institutions must be declared illegal, and null & void. Without wasting any time the State government must take steps to secure their future,” educationist Kamala Prasad Mohapatra said.
Last year as many as 124 students of Sardar Rajas Medical College and Hospital in Kalahandi were accommodated in different medical colleges of the State after the SC rejected their admissions on the basis of lack of infrastructure.
The entrance test, for admission into 672 MBBS seats in seven AIIMS institutions across the country, is being held in six cities in Odisha namely Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Balasore, Berhampur, Sambalpur and Rourkela.
The Computer Based Test (CBT) entrance test will be conducted in two shifts. While the first shift of the examination began at 9 am, the second sitting will start at 3 pm.
According to reports, the results of the entrance test will be declared on June 14.
Pritish Acharya, an educationist, said, “We can get rid of entrance tests of private colleges conducted individually as per their wish. Besides, admission of students under management quota will be stopped. There will be a halt to commercialisation of the medical course.”
He added, “The SC order will help students to appear for one entrance test instead of sitting for different tests of different institutions thereby saving them unnecessary expenses. Students can prepare well as they have to appear for one test only.”
Expressing similar views, Soumya, a student, said, “With the NEET, students will get one rank and will be able to study at any institute. Therefore, it is a good decision.”
Earlier in the day, while allowing the plea for the review of its July 18, 2013, order, the apex court constitution bench — comprising Justices Anil R. Dave, A.K. Sikri, R.K. Agrawal, Adarsh Kumar Goel and R. Banumathi — recalled the order that exempted private medical colleges from admitting students in medical courses through NEET.
Recalling the order, the constitution bench also directed fresh hearing of the matter.
The review was sought by the Medical Council of India (MCI).
The order will affect over 600 private medical colleges in the country.
Notably, the apex court bench, in a majority verdict on July 18, 2013, had held that MCI has no powers to conduct NEET as it can only regulate medical education.
The Skill Development and Technical Education department has recently written a letter in this regard to Health and Family Welfare department asking it not to issue registration number to these students, and not to allow them to appear in any examination.
“The institution concerned be directed not to allow the students admitted in the said institution to attend the classes,” the letter read.
It has also asked chairman of Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) to issue an advertisement reflecting about the facts and developments in the matter i.e. filing of SLP and stay order of the Supreme Court for information of all concerned.
The Odisha government’s action followed after it observed the authorities of the institution in question have failed to reply within the stipulated time period.
It was alleged that the institution had conducted admission of 100 students in MBBS and BDS streams in 2015-16 though it was asked by the Orissa High Court to follow the OJEE counseling process and by informing students that the final outcome of the admission would be subject to the further orders from court.
It is also reported that, the medical college authorities allegedly violated the HC order by not consulting with OJEE over the admission process. They also alleged of conducting a separate entrance test for the admission.
When Medical Council of India (MCI), challenging the HC order approached the Supreme Court in the matter, the latter asked the apex regulatory body for medical education to review the status of the college and submit a report. In November last year, citing lack of adequate infrastructure, the MCI had rejected admission into MBBS and BDS courses in the college.
Confirming the development, OJEE Chairman Tushar Kumar Nath said, “Since the matter is not clear they (students) should not be issued with any registration number and student activities should also be not allowed. After the Supreme Court verdict regarding their future status, then only it will be acceptable. All the concerned departments have been informed.”
The top court had earlier junked the EWS quota for the current academic session.
Senior advocate Sanjay Hegde and advocate Govindjee representing the students mentioned the plea before a bench comprising Justices Indira Banerjee and Ajay Rastogi and sought urgent hearing.
The court has fixed the hearing on the matter on June 10. "The candidates would suffer if they are not allowed to make fresh preferences. Earlier, the court had told us to keep the original choice," Hegde submitted in the court.
The Maharashtra government counsel opposed the plea stating that the court had already passed an order on June 4 that no other plea would be entertained in the matter.
"The state machinery was being stalled by the way of filing one application after another", said the government counsel.
Hedge said the government had first created trouble, and then is dragging its feet on the matter".
The Supreme Court on Tuesday told the Maharashtra government to reshuffle and hold "final" counselling for general candidates who got admission to PG medical and dental seats on or before June 14.
The apex court had struck down the notifications on the EWS quota for the current academic year.
A vacation bench comprising Justice Indu Malhotra and M.R. Shah directed the state government to advertise giving wide publicity specifying "final round of counselling' and complete the process within the stipulated time, on the basis of merit, and directed the former not to miss this deadline.
The court also said that preferences made by candidates while filling the admission forms will remain intact and it cannot be changed during the reshuffling and counselling process.
The court also said: "No application and petition in connection with the admission in PG medical courses in the State, for this current academic year, can be entertained by any other court."
The court asked the state government to consider the plight of the students who have been affected by the implementation of the EWS quota and the manner in which it would impact their career.
The court's order came on pleas filed by some medical students seeking re-drawing of the merit list after a fresh round of counselling. The students moved the top court after it struck down the EWS quote in PG medical admission for the current academic year.
The court queried the State government counsel to explain the reason for not conducting counselling after re-drawing the merit list. "You (state) are the author of this problem. Meritorious students cannot be thrown out of the window like this... fresh counselling is mandatory. The state must adopt a fair process", said the court.
The counsel for the authority conducting the test informed the court that re-shuffling of merit list has been done in accordance with the apex court's order.
Advocate Akash Kakade, counsel appearing for one of the petitioners, said no fresh counselling has been conducted so far, as previous round of counselling has been cancelled.
The Maharashtra government counsel informed the court that after an interim stay on the EWS quota, the merit list of the students has been re-shuffled, but no counselling has been done so far. "How long does the counselling take?....it can be easily done in two days," the court said.
A vacation bench comprising Justices Ajay Rastogi and Surya Kant said that the judges cannot become subject experst, and therefore, cannot sit as an appellate body over the National Testing Agency (NTA).
"... Of late interference from courts in such issues is too much ...we sometimes think if we should consider ourselves as experts?" the court observed, while declining the plea.
The court also said that the judges are not better experts than those who have examined the questions.
"If we become subject expert then will every multiple choice question be scrutinized by the courts?" the court asked the petitioner.
The court also declined to appoint any subject matter experts to examine the queries of the petitioner.
The petitioner, consequently, withdrew the plea from the apex court.
The counseling for the NEET exam is scheduled on June 19.
On Thursday, a vacation bench comprising Justices Indira Banerjee and Ajay Rastogi agreed to hear the writ petition, which was filed by advocate Mahfooz Nazki representing Kayathi Rohan Reddy and three others, hailing from Hyderabad. The students claimed that the error can potentially jeopardize prospects of lakhs of students, who had appeared for the test.
The counsel for the petitioners urged the top court to direct the quashing of the final answer key published on June 5 by the NTA, the agency which conducts NEET UG -2109.
"Pertinently, no option was given to the candidates to file any objections. To the shock and chagrin of the petitioners, not only did the Key continue to have errors, some answers that had been correctly notified earlier, stood changed to a wrong answer", said the petitioners.
The court, initially, declined to allocate a hearing on the matter, but at the insistance of the counsel allowed the plea for hearing.
The petition claimed that the answer keys first published by the NTA on May 29 had a number of questions answered wrongly.
On May 30, the petitioners, through a representation, pointed out the flaws in the official answer keys yet again, and, subsequently, these were published on June 5 after a revision.
"The respondents (authorities concerned) have not only failed to rectify the defects/errors in the question papers but have also refused to accept any representations sought to be made by the petitioners in respect of the revised key. The whole process is, therefore, vitiated and is liable to be set aside", said the petition.
It also claimed that the authorities concerned discarded the representation sent by students on June 9, citing that the matter has already been referred to the specialists in the field, and the final answer keys were published subsequently.
The petitioners had cited National Council Of Educational Research And Training (NCERT) textbooks in their defence.
The NEET is held for admission to MBBS, BDS and other such courses in medical colleges. Those who clear the written entrance exam are called for counselling, for which the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) started a registration fee of Rs 1,000 in 2018-19.
Replying to a RTI query by Neemuch-based activist Chandrashekhar Gaud, the Union Health Ministry said that from the 114,198 students, who registered themselves for counselling in 2018-19, a total of Rs 18,32,87,500 was collected as registration amount.
Of this, Rs 2,76,78614 were spent on conducting the counselling. The MCC deposited the remaining amount of Rs 15,56,08,886 in the Central government's account.
The Health Ministry also informed Gaud that the MCC decided to impose the registration fee on the advice of the Health and Family Welfare Department.
Gaud said the amount collected by the government as registration fee in 2018-19 and the interest earned on it was enough to conduct the counselling process for the next several years, and the government must therefore think about putting an end to the registration fee.

Rai came to Kota a year back from Madhubani in Bihar to realise his dream of becoming a doctor. He always wanted to cure physically challenged people to ensure a healthy and better life for them.
"My father Lal Bahadur Rai operates a photocopy shop while my mother is a housewife. Our entire savings were spent in my treatment due to which I am now able to walk with the help of crutches. However, our family was left in a deplorable financial condition.
"After Class X, my parents had to enrol me in a government school as we had no money left to pursue studies in a private school," Rai said.
"I scored 83 per cent in Class X and 63 per cent in Class XII. Thereafter, my father mortgaged a little piece of land we owned to ensure that I get enrolled in a medical coaching institute in Kota to realise my dream of becoming a doctor.
"In fact, many people told my father not to send me to Kota given my physical condition, but my father believed in me," he said.
Now Rai has dreams twinkling in his eyes and he wants to help physically challenged people after becoming a doctor.
Rai believes that being physically handicapped is not a curse, but a challenge which should be faced with determination and confidence.
He said that initially he got nervous and demotivated while studying but the faculty members motivated him to realise his goal. Seeing him walk on his crutches, Rai was provided a vehicle facility from the private institute in Kota to ensure he reached his classroom on time.
The institute also waived off his fee when it came to know about his financial condition.
"I used to study for four to five hours daily to realise my dream. After completing my MBBS, I want to specialise in neurology. I want to give a message to all my fellow friends, 'have strong determination and you shall definitely succeed in life'.
"I faced many problems due to my physical weakness but my strong determination helped me achiev success in life," Rai said.

The scholarship was awarded by California's 'Saloni Heart Foundation' to Krishna Mohanty, who had the programme last year.
The scholarship will cover expenses for Mohanty's studies, food and hostel accommodation at state-run MKCG college in Berhampore, he said, adding that the amount will be sent directly to the institution.
Mohanty is among the 14 students of Bhubaneswar-based Zindagi Foundation -- that runs a free coaching programme for medical aspirants from poor financial backgrounds besides bearing their food and lodging expenses -- to have cracked the NEET exam in 2019 for admission into government medical colleges.
Zindagi programme is being run by educationist Ajay Bahadur Singh, who could not become a medico himself due to financial hardships faced by his Jharkhand-based family in the early 90s.
Due to her mother's paltry income, Mohanty was finding it difficult to study the medical course, he said, adding that the US-based foundation's timely assistance will help her realise her dream of becoming a doctor.
The foundation, with noted personalities like former AIIMS director P Venugopal, Dr Mohan Reddy and Dr Lilian Su of Stanford Children Hospital on board, aims at providing free online medical assistance and consultation to the needy in India, he said.
Himanshu Seth, founder of the US-based organisation, said the board members of the foundation have decided to finance one medical aspirant like Krishna Mohanty every year.
Seth said he and all the other members of the organisation were overwhelmed after coming to know about the Zindagi programme.
He met Mohanty at the Zindagi Foundation on Saturday to complete the formalities of awarding the scholarship and presented her a laptop on behalf of the US-based group.
"Hats off to people like Ajay Bahadur Singh, who has so much compassion for deprived children...It is like a relay race, he helped a poor student like Krishna Mohanty crack a tough medical exam to get admission in a medical college. We want to carry it forward till completion of her studies," Seth, a US green card holder, told PTI.
He said the foundation will spend around Rs 1 lakh every year on Mohanty's MBBS course till its completion.
Seth, who originally hails from Uttrakhand, said he had set up the foundation after the death of her daughter Saloni due to a heart ailment at the age of 13 in 2018.
Saloni had aspired to become a doctor, but unfortunately left us at an early age, he said.
"By financing MBBS studies of a poor student like Krishna Mohanty, we want to see a Saloni in her," Seth said.
Zindagi programme founder Ajay Bahadur Singh thanked the US-based organisation for their help to Mohanty.
"Almighty has sent us on earth to help poor students realise their dreams," said Singh, who had sold tea and sherbet at Deogarh Shravani Mela in the early 90s to sustain his family after the death of his father due to kidney ailment.
"I could not become a doctor but I want others, who come from a poor financial background like me, taste success.
This is the force that drives me to do whatever little I can for youths in Odisha," Singh said.
Modelled along the lines of 'Super 30' of mathematician Anand Kumar, Zindagi programme was launched in 2016.
At present, it has 19 students, boys and girls from across Odisha, preparing hard to clear the NEET exam this year.
Fourteen of the foundation's students had cracked the medical entrance test in 2018 and 12 of them got admitted to government medical colleges in Odisha.
Impressed by their achievements, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik had hosted them in July last year.
Kumar, on whom a biopic starring Hrithik Roshan was made, had recently interacted with students of the Zindagi Foundation and showered accolades on Singh, who like him, had battled hardship while studying and is now empowering children of vegetable sellers, fishermen and marginal farmers to get admitted to premier institutes.

The issue was discussed during a review meeting of the existing health infrastructure in the State by Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik today.
The Odisha Public Service Commission (OPSC) is likely to issue an official notification regarding the appointment of MBBS and BDS soon, official sources said.
Odisha government officials said that already a mega drive is underway to develop SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack into a world-class health care centre.
Patnaik extensively reviewed the ongoing works for the development of infrastructure at newly set up medical colleges in the State.
On the other hand, classes in the three new medical colleges in Odisha are likely to commence from this year. The medical colleges include, the Mahanadi Institute of Medical Sciences and Research at Talcher, Medical College and Hospital at Sundergarh and Sri Jagannath Medical College and Hospital at Puri.
These institutions are slated to provide super speciality health care facilities to patients. The number of seats for students at all the three new medical colleges has been capped at 100 per year.
While demanding immediate rollback of the decision, the Association has said that students successfully passed from different State-run medical colleges are waiting to get appointment in State hospitals as doctors. If government invites medical degree holders from outside, the future of the students of Odisha will be bleak for sure, asked Dr Harmohan Barik, President of Resident Doctors' Association (RDA) at SCB Medical College and Hospital, Cuttack.
He said that as many as 1600 students pass every year from government-run medical colleges in Odisha. When many of them are deprived of job in State, why the government wants to recruit physicians from outside the State, he questioned.
Barik further said, only Odisha government has implemented such rules while Other States have no such provisions.

Notably, Odisha government has planned to conduct a major recruitment drive this year to fill up the posts of 2,452 doctors, 82 dental surgeons and 94 assistant professors in various hospitals and medical colleges.
Earlier, only residents of Odisha who are able to read, write and speak Odia, and those who have passed middle school examination in Odia as a language subject or passed matriculation or equivalent with Odia as medium of examination in non-language subject were eligible for the recruitment in State-run hospitals.
