JUDGEMENT

(1.) ...[VERNACULAR TEXT OMITTED]... goes a tamil saying which means that disease free life is plenty of wealth. Human beings are bound to suffer from diseases during their life time. To diagnose diseases, treat and cure, medical professionals are necessary. The role of doctors have been recognised 2000 years ago by ancient tamils and one such evidence is found in Immortal Thirukkural written by Saint Thiruvalluvar.

(2.) Only to enable meritorious, deserving and intelligent students to get accommodated in medical colleges, many ways and means have been introduced to filter less meritorious, half-baked students from entering into medical colleges. One such step is the introduction of common entrance examination by the Medical Council of India, so that the students are selected by a single window system which is applicable throughout India and the merit of the students is determined on an all India level.

(3.) Though, initially Government medical colleges alone have been in existence, in view of the importance of health, increase in human population and consequently diseases and advancement in medical treatment, more and more doctors are necessary. Resultantly, more medical colleges are started to be established. In view of expanding role of Government, the Government is not in a position to establish more medical colleges and cater to the medical needs of the increasing population of India, private stake holders are permitted to establish medical colleges/institutions/universities. Advent of private medical institutions eventually leads to commercialisation of medical education, wherein merit has been pushed to back seat and money started playing a prominent role enabling the less meritorious students getting into medical education and keeping out more meritorious and deserving students who have definite chances of becoming better doctors than those who get admitted.
