apply to cases where colleges or institutions were

the same levels as that of the Government medical

the private medical colleges or institutions.

4. The order shall not apply to colleges or
institutions which have been disqualified by the
Medical Council of India and/or the Central Government
and have been prohibited from making any admissions for
the current academic year 2014-15.

sent by the State agencies one relating to State quota
and the other relating to management quota in private
institutions, we clarify that for the current academic
year there shall be only one list and that shall be the
“State quota” alone. There shall not be any management
