On March 28, the apex court had asked the DGHS to respond to a batch of petitions filed by a group of doctors seeking to participate in the mop-up round of NEET-PG 2021-22 counselling.
A bench of Justices D Y Chandrachud and Surya Kant said, “We will post these matters for final disposal in the month of April. We now have to hear the matter and everything is there in law. Parties concerned shall file their detailed written submission. We have upheld the 27 percent OBC quota and now we will confine ourselves to EWS criteria only”.
According to health ministry officials, the decision was taken in consultation with the National Medical Commission (NMC) in view of approximately 8,000 seats still remaining vacant even after two rounds of all India and two rounds of state quota counselling.
The date of completion of compulsory rotating internship for eligibility for admission to MDS courses fixed at July 31 instead of March 31, this year.
