When merit is ignored! :
I know a girl who took the medical admission test for the second time this year after preparing herself for more than a year. She did very well in the model tests at the coaching centre she attended. She did well in the actual admission test as well. Naturally, she had high hopes of making it to a government medical college.
After the result was published, she found out that she scored 175 marks but her merit position is 7777! Therefore, she cannot get into a government medical college, no matter how good her marks are. The irony is that many of her friends made it in DMC, CMC and other public medical colleges as they had access to the leaked questions. Now, this girl is in much despair and sees no light at the end of the tunnel. There are many more cases like hers. The government must identify the culprits and award them exemplary punishment.
