Magan Mehrotra And Ors. vs Union Of India (Uoi) And Ors.

The Supreme Court held that candidates who have passed the MBBS Examination from universities outside Delhi but are permanent residents of the National Capital Territory of Delhi are eligible for admission under the 15% quota. The Court emphasized that while it is ideal not to have reservations based on residence or institutional preference for post-graduate admissions, a certain percentage of seats may be reserved for students from the same institution, not exceeding 50% of open seats. The ruling modifies previous judgments, establishing that at least 25% of seats in post-graduate courses should be filled based on All India Entrance Examination, ensuring broader access to education.
