Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the legality of the Ministry of AYUSH's directive requiring a minimum of 50th percentile marks in NEET for open category candidates and 40th percentile for reserved category candidates for AYUSH undergraduate admissions, as per the letter dated 11th June 2018. The Court emphasized that the altered eligibility criteria were valid and applicable for the academic year 2018-19, rejecting the Appellant-Association's contention that the previous standards should apply. The Court dismissed the appeals against the High Court's decision, affirming the government's authority to set admission standards under the Central Council of Homoeopathy Regulations, 1983.
