NEET
is a very compulsory exam for the admission in any graduate medical
course (MBBS), dental course (BDS) or postgraduate course (MD/MS) in
any government or private medical colleges in India. With a petition
signed by students (who are not from Maharashtra but studying there)
of Maharashtra to allow admission in the medical colleges. On Monday,
Bombay High Court declined to interfere into the matter and asked
Maharashtra to go ahead with its domicile policy.
The
court was hearing petition filed by students of Mahatma Gandhi
Vidyamandir´s Karmaveer Bhausaheb Hiray Dental College and Hospital,
a private unaided college and the students outside of Maharashtra.
The petition was about, medical colleges and universities were not
accepting students from other states.
The
High Court had on August 30 stayed a government’s resolution that
made it mandatory for all deemed medical colleges and universities to
follow the NEET merit list for admitting students.
According
to the latest data, more than 20,000 students had registered for the
centralised admission process through NEET for admissions to 1,675
seats in deemed institutes in Maharashtra. The selection list was
supposed to be published by September 3, but it was stayed by the
High Court till it decides on those petitions.
The
petitioners have challenged the rules that allow the advantage of
reservation only to local students, questioning how such domicile
rules could be applied in private unaided colleges.
