New Delhi: In a significant judgment, the Supreme Court of India has allowed resumption of NEET-PG medical counselling for admissions to 2021-22 academic year with 27 percent reservation for OBCs and 10 percent reservation for EWS as per existing reservation norms.
A bench comprising Justices D.Y. Chandrachud and A.S. Bopanna has said that “We have upheld the constitutional validity of 27 percent reservation for OBC in NEET PG AND UG. For EWS this year, the 10 percent will apply for this year and the prospective ruling will be decided on a final EWS hearing to be held on March 3, 2022.”
The Supreme Court has upheld the constitutional validity of the quotas for the NEETUG and NEET-PG but said it would adjudicate the rationale of Rs 8 lakh income criteria for EWS category in March-April this year.
