Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a Writ Petition under Article 32 concerning the admission process for the MBBS course at AIIMS, focusing on adherence to the reservation policy. The Court found that AIIMS's methodology for seat allocation, which included a reservation of 7.5% for ST, 15% for SC, and 27% for OBC candidates, was in compliance with the legal standards set forth. The Court upheld the validity of the admission process, ruling that the AIIMS did not exceed the prescribed quotas for reserved categories, thus dismissing the petitioners' claims.
