PG medical seat matrix row resolved

The state government and the Karnataka Private Medical and Dental Colleges Association have resolved the row over post-graduate seats in private medical colleges.

A memo filed in the high court by the association and the government gave out details of the new seat matrix.  It said 33% of the seats earmarked under the government quota will remain undisturbed, while the remaining 67% seats will be distributed under the management quota. About 17% of management quota seats will be earmarked for Karnataka students and 25% of the seats will be distributed on the basis of the general merit list prepared by Comed-K. The remaining 25% of the management quota seats will be filled by NRI candidates and institutional preferences. Fresh counselling will be conducted for the 67% seats under the management quota.  Following the filing of the memo, the high court on Friday disposed of the petition.
