Hey friend!

The government has agreed to reserve five MBBS seats for the 2020-2021 academic year under the central pool for wards of COVID-19 warriors.

The move aims to dignify and honour the noble contribution made by COVID-19 warriors who have lost their lives due to infection or died accidentally due to COVID-19-related duty, Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan said.

In the guidelines for the selection and nomination of candidates for central pool MBBS seats, the Union Health Ministry has introduced a new category,' Wards of COVID Warriors'.

The selection will be made through an online application by the Medical Council Committee (MCC) on the basis of the ranking obtained in the NEET-2020 by the National Testing Agency.

All the best friend!
