NEET UG: Fate of this top scorer hanging by the thread for flouting norms

Najih Sarfraz Khalid's 99.3 percentile NEET scores meant he could get admission in any top university, which he did, when he got himself into a prestigious medical college in Puducherry. It was all right till another student, Saminathan S, found a glitch in his application and approached authorities. Khalid was found to have claimed residency in two states Kerala and Puducherry a fact which as per Union Territory admission norms rendered his admission liable to be cancelled. When the authorities did not pay heed to Saminathan's complaint, he approached the Madras High Court. A single judge bench of Madras High Court on Wednesday asked the Puducherry government and the Union Health Ministry to take an "appropriate decision" on his admission. As of now, Khalid's fate at college still hangs in balance. Citing the reason for reverting the matter back to the admission authorities, Justice CV Karthikeyan, the presiding judge, said in the judgment, "They had offered him a seat. Now they

Karnataka HC quashes reduction of seats for in-service doctors in PG-NEET

The High Court of Karnataka quashed the state government notification issued on October 6, 2022, by which seats earmarked for in-service candidates from PG-NEET examination 2022 was reduced from 30 per cent to 15 per cent. The government quota is for doctors who are already serving in government service across Karnataka. The court made this order in a batch of petitions filed by in-service candidates.

Despite the interim order the Karnataka Examination Authority had announced the notification and published the first round of allotment.
