NMC challenges Rajasthan HC ruling on MBBS seat hike, SC issues notice
In response to a plea by the National Medical Commission (NMC) challenging the Rajasthan High Court's decision not to intervene in the increase of MBBS seats from 50 to 100 at JIET Medical College, Jodhpur, the Supreme Court has issued a notice in the matter.
The case originated when JIET Medical College applied for an intake of 150 students in response to a public notice. However, after an inspection by the Medical Assessment and Rating Board, deficiencies were found, leading to the disapproval of the college’s establishment. The institution filed an appeal, which was dismissed. In a second appeal, permission was granted for 50 MBBS seats. Unsatisfied with this, the respondent college approached the High Court, where a single judge issued an interim order allowing an increase to 100 seats. The additional admissions took place, prompting the NMC to challenge the order.
