The Directorate of Medical Education opted social media applications and video conferencing for the admissions to the post graduate or PG courses but the MBBS counselling would continue to remain offline for ensuring transparency.
As per Dr. Narayana Babu, DME, it was clear that the admissions to the PG medical courses were carried out amidst lockdown and hence online counselling was done due to lack of other options.
Now, the students would be free to travel inside the state after the relaxations in the lockdown and counselling sessions would be done offline for the students. This was according to some senior officials belonging to the DME.
During the counselling for MBBS admissions, all precautionary measures and safety precautions along with adequate social distancing would be taken without fail.
