Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court, in Dr. Pradeep Jain v. Union of India, addressed the framework for admissions to postgraduate medical courses, emphasizing the need for a uniform pattern across the country. The Court held that the existing arrangements would continue until 1992, after which a three-year course without housemanship would be mandated for admissions starting in 1993. The Court also decided that the diploma qualification for admission would be phased out post-1992, while no immediate directions were necessary for super specialities due to the limited number of seats available.
