On Friday, the Supreme Court allowed the admission process for undergraduate and postgraduate medical programmes through the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test to go on as per the existing eligibility criteria.
The court was deciding on the validity of reservations introduced in July 2021 for Other Backward Classes as well as the economically weaker sections for All-India Quota seats in NEET. The All India Quota consists of 15% seats in undergraduate courses and 50% seats in postgraduate courses open to students across India (the rest are only for state domiciles).
