The former Vice-Chancellor said that students can get admissions in Central universities, all deemed universities as also 15 per cent in all other medical colleges in India, which is positive point.The renowned teacher also said that the NEET scores help students get admission in medical colleges abroad, as it is a reputed testing agency.Balagurusamy said that the central government has announced 27 per cent reservation for Other Backward Communities (OBC) and 10 per cent Economically Weaker Section reservation in All India Quota and added that this would have helped a lot of poor students from rural backgrounds get into reputed medical colleges from the central pool.He also said that the Justice A.K. Rajan Committee has not mentioned the reservation under the All India Quota in its recommendations.Selvakumar, Professor of a reputed College in Madurai told : "Justice Rajan committee has recommended that admissions to medical colleges be based on +2 marks.
