Lucknow : CHAOS and confusion prevailed on the second day of counselling for the combined Pre-Medical Test (PMT) at the King Georges Medical University (KGMU) here today.
Yesterday, the Director General for Medical Education had ordered that the seat allotment would be deferred. This led to much confusion, not only among students but among officials as well.
Moreover, many students from districts other than Lucknow and Bareilly were denied counselling. These students had come to KGMU due to lack of information about their counselling centres.
One such student was Priyanka Singh, who did not know that she was supposed to go to Agra for counselling. We have been here for the last two days and have been doing the rounds of KGMU to get some information. Today, at the last minute, they informed us that we were in the wrong place and should have been in Agra today, said Priyanka, who secured 5152 rank in the CPMT-2006.
