Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court, while transferring a writ appeal under Article 139A, upheld the necessity of implementing a 15% reservation for admissions to MBBS/BDS courses without considering state-specific reservations. The Court recognized that varying state reservations could lead to inequality in opportunities for students across different states. It modified the previous formula established in Pradeep Jain (Dr) v. Union of India, directing that at least 15% of total seats in medical colleges should be filled based on the All India Entrance Examination, ensuring fairness and equality in admissions.
