Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted permission to file Special Leave Petitions and upheld the conditions set by the Government of India for Vinayaka Mission University's offshore campus in Thailand. The Court emphasized that degrees awarded by the offshore campus would be treated as foreign medical degrees and students must qualify the screening test under the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 and the Screening Test Regulations, 2002. The Court held that the degrees are not recognized by the Medical Council of Thailand, thus reinforcing the regulatory framework governing medical education in India.
