The Supreme Court said that medical seats should not remain vacant when India is facing a shortage of doctors. This came while hearing petitions asking admission authorities to hold a special or stray counseling round for unfilled seats. These requests were made even after five rounds of counseling had already been completed. The court stressed the need to use all available resources to address the country’s healthcare challenges.
The Supreme Court, led by CJI DY Chandrachud, will address the NEET PG case this Friday, focusing on the petitioners’ demands for transparency regarding examination results and normalization processes. Concerns have been raised about data accessibility from the National Board of Examinations, which could influence the fairness of medical education admissions.
