The Supreme Court upheld the legality of the Ministry of AYUSH's letter dated 11th June 2018, which mandated that candidates seeking admission to AYUSH undergraduate courses must secure a minimum of 50th percentile for open category and 40th percentile for reserved category in NEET. The Court emphasized that the altered eligibility criteria were valid and necessary to maintain academic standards. Consequently, the appeals challenging the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition were dismissed, affirming the Ministry's decision.
