SIR,
I AM EX POR TEL. WHEN I READ THE PROSPECTUS OF ARMY COLLEGE OF MEDICAL SCIENCE THROUGH GGSIPU. I CAME TO KNOW THAT ADMISSION IN MBBS IN ACMS IS ONLY FOR THE WARDS OF ARMY/EX ARMY PERSONNEL ONLY. NO WHERE IT IS MENTIONED THAT THE WARDS OF NAVY OR EX NAVY PERSONNEL ARE ELIGIBLE.
SIR, IF THE WARDS OF NAVY/EX NAVY PERSONNEL ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR ADMISSION TO ACMS DELHI, THEN YOU ARE REQUESTED THAT TO TAKE UP THE MATTER AND DO SOMETHING FOR NAVY PERSONNEL ALSO.
PLEASE REPLY
THANKS
NARESH KUMAR EX PORTEL
