Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Delhi High Court's decision denying admission to the appellants in the MBBS course for the academic session 2011-2012, stating that the admissions were governed by the Bulletin of Information issued by Delhi University, which clearly outlined the admission process and seat allocation. The Court emphasized that the appellants, despite clearing the DUMET, could not secure admission due to their lower rank in the merit list, thus affirming the merit-based admission criteria as valid under the relevant educational statutes. The judgment reinforces the principle that admissions must adhere strictly to the prescribed guidelines and merit lists established by educational authorities.
