The Supreme Court on Friday allowed the resumption of counselling for NEET PG and UG courses for 2021-2022 by upholding the constitutional validity of the 27 per cent reservation for Other Backward Class and 10 per cent quota for the Economically Weaker Section as laid down in 2019 with the Rs 8 lakh annual income criteria.
The Supreme Court on Thursday reserved its verdict and asked petitioners to file a final reply by tomorrow on the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) reservation for NEET PG Counselling 2021.
A constitution bench of Justice Arun Mishra, Justice Indra Banerjee, Justice Vineet Saran, Justice M. R. Shah & Justice Aniruddha Bose has held that the MCI regulation allowing in-service reservation is unconstitutional. That power belongs to the state.
