Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a writ petition seeking a reduction in the cut-off percentile for admission to Super Specialty courses and requested the Medical Counselling Committee to conduct additional rounds of counselling for vacant seats. The court emphasized the need for equitable access to medical education, particularly for underrepresented groups, and directed the authorities to ensure that vacant seats are filled to enhance educational opportunities. The petition was partly allowed, leading to a modification of the admission criteria.
