Thiruvananthapuram: The admission supervisory committee has issued a fresh order extending the last date of submitting applications for the management quota MBBS seats in self-financing medical colleges from September 6 to 10. This follows complaints that the colleges had not given adequate time for submitting the applications. The order issued by the committee headed by Justice J.M. James contains a time schedule for admission process. There were complaints alleging that the websites of the medical colleges were not available for registering the online applications.
Some other sites were erratic. The registering link of some colleges appeared on the website but was not active. In some cases, when the link was opened the result page was blank.
