The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad HC stayed a single bench order for fresh MBBS counselling and allowed SC students admitted under the 70% quota to be shifted to vacant seats. The court asked UP govt to strictly follow the 21% reservation cap from next session.
Today, On 3rd December, The Supreme Court of India has raised concerns over vacant medical seats and urged the Central Government to consult stakeholders for solutions. Highlighting the high demand for healthcare professionals, the court stressed the importance of ensuring all seats are filled. It called for streamlined admission processes and better resource utilization in medical education. This move aims to address gaps and improve access to healthcare across the country.
Dr. Anshu Kataria of PUCA indicated that around 2.33 million students are impacted by a Supreme Court case regarding NEET, which has led the Punjab Unaided Colleges Association to request an extension of admission cut-off dates. Currently, technical college admissions are halted, affecting numerous applicants amid ongoing delays and unrest.
