Mangalore : Fr Muller Refutes Dr Rakesh Sera's Claim as 'Baseless'

Daijiworld Media Network - Mangalore

Mangalore, May 25: City's Father Muller Medical College, which has been in the news over an admission row, has clarified its stand on the matter.

The Karnataka High Court on May 17 had passed an order directing Father Muller Medical College here to admit Rakesh Sera, a student from Vogga in Bantwal, to its postgraduate medical course. Sera had secured the 198th rank in Postgraduate Entrance Test conducted by COMED-K.

Dr Sera had alleged that he was denied admission under the quota meant for Christian students by the college.


Now, in a clarification to the media, Fr Muller administration has said that the College has admitted students to PG programme as per the guidelines issued by competent authorities. Regarding Dr Rakesh Sera's claim, it said that it was baseless and undermined the reputation of the institution. 

"We neither select any candidate nor collect any tuition fees from any candidate selected through CET and COMED-K during admission. They are selected through centralized counseling at Bangalore. This year our permitted intake under COMED-K is only two Christian candidates. However, three candidates have been allotted the same two seats. We have admitted the two candidates who reported first," stated the media release.

    Father Muller's Medical College has built a name over the past few years as one of the most reputed and efficient teaching Institutions and there are hundreds of students who have qualified from this College who bear witness to the quality of education they have derived from this prestigious College.

    It is easy to find fault with any teaching institution but often the allegations are baseless and misleading. I have known the management of F.M.C.I. for over three decades and have no hesitation in saying that all concerned stand for JUSTICE AND FAIRPLAY.

    The present Director Rev. Father Patrick Rodrigues is well qualified with a Master's Degree in Health Care from a prestigious Institution in New York. He has working with him well qualified and trained persons like Father Denis D'Sa and Father Richard Coelho as administrators of the Medical College and Hospital respectively. Father Vincent Saldanha the Asst. Director is an all round achiever.

    Father Muller commenced his charitable work over one hundred and thirty years ago and every effort is being made to keep up the tradition and high standards that he stood for.

    I would therefore appeal to the people not to judge the institution by any adverse remarks made by any one. Interested people are free to meet the management for the right and correct information. They will know for themselves the way the Medical College and Hospital function.

    Whatever it is, Rakesh deserves his alloted seat. Let the administrators of FMC and educational authorities resolve the matter.

    I applaud Rakesh to have brought this matter to public attention than humbling down. Good luck young man - Vogga will be proud of you when you succeed in your endeavors.
