Protest for Inclusion of EWS Quota in NEET 2019 State Counselling of West Bengal

The recent JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) counseling JOSAA round 1 has opened the eyes of many students and parents in West Bengal regarding the implications of the EWS (Economically Weaker Sections) quota. Notably, several students from Shibpur and NIT Durgapur have secured seats under the EWS quota and have the home state as West Bengal, thanks to their EWS certificates.

Understanding the JEE Counseling Data

A thorough analysis of the JEE counseling JOSAA round 1 data shows that the EWS quota is indeed an important aspect of the admission process. In this round, some candidates who have an EWS certificate have secured seats in various NITs, including those located in West Bengal. This observation strongly suggests that the EWS quota is beneficial and should be considered in other counseling processes.

Why the State Government Must Include EWS Quota in NEET State Counselling

Given this data and noting the MCI (Medical Council of India) order mandating the inclusion of EWS quota in all government educational institutions, it is crucial for the West Bengal government to include the EWS quota in the upcoming NEET state counseling. The EWS quota is a critical component that ensures a more equitable distribution of seats in educational institutions, providing opportunities to deserving students who might not have otherwise had access to higher education.

It is important to emphasize that the inclusion of EWS quota is not just beneficial for EWS students but also for the broader student community. The JEE counseling data clearly indicates that students from West Bengal are utilizing this quota, which reflects a reasonable and fair distribution of educational resources. Therefore, the state government can no longer ignore the positive impact of the EWS quota and must comply with the MCI order.

United Front for Better Future Prospects

To advocate for the inclusion of the EWS quota in NEET 2019 state counseling, a united front is essential. Parents, students, and educational institutions must come together to voice their concerns and demand that the state government adhere to the MCI order. A collective effort is necessary to ensure that the voices of students who require this quota are heard.

By excluding the EWS quota in NEET state counseling, the state government could be denying many students the opportunity to secure educational seats they deserve. We must fight for our rights and ensure that all students in West Bengal are provided with equal opportunities to pursue higher education. This is a matter of social justice and must be addressed promptly.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the inclusion of the EWS quota in NEET 2019 state counseling is imperative for the betterment of education in West Bengal. The data and the MCI order provide a strong case for its implementation. It is urgent that the state government acts on this to benefit both EWS students and the broader student community. Let us unite to fight for our future and ensure that we do not miss out on our 475 seats.

Thank you.
