    PUBLIC NOTICE:-
    FOR ATTENTION OF DENTAL STUDENTS SEEKING ADMISSION IN FOREIGN UNIVERSITIES / INSTITUTIONS!!
    All the concerned Indian students and their parents are informed that before taking admission in foreign institutions in dentistry at UG/PG level, they should confirm the status of the University/institutions from the Dental Council of India as well as to get the eligibility certificate before getting admission in foreign universities as it has come to the notice of the Dental Council of India that there are many institutions in foreign countries who do not confirm the standard of Dental Education at par with the Dental Council of India and moreover, they are taking excess admissions against the norms of DCI particularly in the PG courses. In case, any students take the admission in such institutions / Universities, shall do so at their own risks and costs consequence as their Foreign Dental qualification may not be considered for recognition by Dental Council of India as per the provisions of Screening Test Regulations, 2009 and they would not be allowed to practice Dentistry in the country including teaching.

    More than half of the 17 colleges, where around 250 medical and dental students might be stranded because their admissions have been set aside, are run by trusts that have links with Congress and NCP politicians. On Friday the Pravesh Niyan-tran Samiti, the committee responsible for

    admissions-related complaints, disapproved admissions after examining reports of three committees about the matter. The names of the colleges, the complaints received in each case and the Samiti’s recommendations were released on Monday.
    For instance, both Terna Medical College and Terna Dental College in Navi Mumbai are run by Terna Public Charitable Trust, which is chaired by Padamsinh Patil, a former cabinet minister. Ano-ther former minister, Ranjeet Deshmukh, is chairman of the trust that runs NKP Salve Institute of Medical Sciences in Nagpur.

    Admissions have been disapproved on grounds such as failure to advertise vacancies, follow reservation rules and admission schedule, and other procedural violations. “The admission process was thus not fair, transparent and merit-based”: stated the minutes of the meeting.

    “I have to go through this first,” said Kamal Kishor Kadam, head of Association of Managements of Unaided Private Medical and Dental Colleges.

    The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday searched the premises of Dental Council of India’s (DCI) executive committee members Jayakar Shetty in Bangalore, Sateesh Kumar Reddy in Hyderabad and Bharat Shetty in Mangalore, following information about them having taken bribes for granting approval to private colleges to run various courses despite them not having the prescribed, mandatory infrastructure and staff.

    The searches were conducted at 10 places reportedly on the basis of inputs given by two DCI members.

    Searches were also conducted in six private dental colleges — Chennai, Namakkal, Jabalpur, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Mangalore — in connection with the case.

    The lid came off the countrywide scam after a member of the DCI, S. Murukesan, was allegedly caught red-handed by the CBI while receiving bribes from officials of a private dental college for arranging clearances from the Council for allowing post-graduate courses.

    “During questioning, Murukesan allegedly spilled the beans, resulting in the arrest of another DCI member, Gunaseelan Rajan, who was arrested by the agency 10 days later on January 18 from Chennai,” a CBI official said
