MCI needs students’ feedback online

MCI wrote a letter recently to all medical colleges, asking them to update their websites in the first week of every month which should also include data of every undergraduate incorporating their score in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) and fees charged by the college. The student information, including their attendance and performance, should be updated as and when the student moves to another semester. “As part of a 360-degree evaluation, students’ feedback, as regards regularity in teaching, practical demonstration, handson-training, infrastructure facilities should be included,” the MCI letter said, quoting directions from the Oversight Committee mandated by the Supreme Court to oversee functioning of MCI. The Supreme Court had in May appointed an Oversight Committee comprising former Chief Justice of India Justice R M Lodha, Dr Shiv Sareen and former CAG Vinod Rai. According to the order, “All policy decisions of the MCI will require approval of the Oversight Committee. The Committee will be free to issue appropriate remedial directions,” the order said.
