Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the authorities are mandated to conduct the second, third, and mop-up rounds of counselling for the UPPGMEE 2016 as per the Information Brochure, which stipulates that no seats should remain vacant for the academic year 2016-2017. The Court emphasized that the failure to hold these rounds infringes on the rights of candidates who have successfully cleared the examination. Consequently, the Court directed the State of Uttar Pradesh and relevant authorities to comply with the prescribed counselling process to ensure all available seats are filled.
