CHOWDHURY NAVIN HEMABHAI vs STATE OF GUJARAT .

The Supreme Court held that the Medical Council of India's regulations, specifically Clause 5.5(ii) of the MCI Regulations and Rule 5(1)(iv) of the Gujarat State Rules, require candidates to secure a minimum of 40% marks in the common entrance test for MBBS admission. The Court found that the appellants, despite meeting the qualifying examination criteria, were ineligible due to their performance in the entrance test. Consequently, the Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellants' writ petition under Article 226, affirming the MCI's decision to discharge them from the MBBS course.
