(a) to (e): The All India Medical Engineering Association has submitted a Memorandum to the Government highlighting
the problems being faced by the aided un-aided, minority/non-minority educational institutions in the country. The
Memorandum urges the Government to permit the Association to conduct a Single National level entrance test for filling
the seats in the management quota; to ensure 30% NRI quota without any restrictions/conditions; to prevent the
approved/affiliating universities from collecting hefty amount from the colleges; to permit the self-financing colleges
to conduct their own courses; to bring a uniform admission policy; to fix the ratio of teachers:students at 1:30, to give
freedom to the colleges to fixed their own fee structure, and the Universities/State Governments should not intervene in
the decisions taken by the management regarding salary paid to the teachers.
The Government of India has prepared a draft Central Legislation for vetting by the stakeholders to regulate admission,
fee structure, management quota etc. in CentraJ/Deemed Universities, Medical colleges, aided/non-aided, minority/non-minority,
private professional educational Institutions. As far as possible, the difficulties pointed out by the Association will be
