A senior health department official said that admission in to any medical or dental college will be possible only if the student meets both the HSC and CET criteria.
He also said that for every student applying for a medical/dental college seat a merit list would be prepared based on which admissions to the open category would be offered.
This decision was taken mainly to remove all possible doubts from the parent's side that
CET was a means to allow backdoor entry to non-Gujarati students into the state's medical and dental colleges.
