The Supreme Court of India has mandated ten significant reforms to address the malpractice of seat blocking in NEET-PG admissions. These reforms aim to enhance transparency, ensure merit-based selection, and enforce accountability in the counselling process. The Court’s actions respond to longstanding issues affecting fairness in postgraduate medical admissions.
On Wednesday(18th Sept), The Supreme Court of India urged the Union government and NMC to adopt a compassionate approach for disabled medical aspirants. It directed the admission of a candidate with 45% speech and language disability, stressing that rigid rules should not bar individuals with physical impairments from pursuing their goals.
Rakesh Ranjan, implicated in the NEET-UG paper leak, was arrested in Nalanda, Bihar. The CBI was granted custody of 13 suspects by the Patna High Court for interrogation. Ranjan’s alleged involvement in orchestrating solvers for the exam was identified through digital evidence. The scandal affected over 24 lakh candidates and led to significant legal actions against the NTA.
