In an interim order on the NEET-PG admission on January 7, the apex Court allowed the resumption of medical counseling for NEET-PG admissions for the year 2021-22 and upheld the validity of 27 per cent quota for the other backward classes (OBC).
The SC was hearing a batch of petitions filed by the NEET-PG candidates, who had challenged a July 29, 2021 notification for the implementation of the OBC and the EWS quotas from the 2021-22 academic year on grounds that the Rs 8 lakh income criteria for determining EWS was without any scientific study.
