Rajasthan- Recently, the admission of 100 MBBS students made at Pacific Medical College and Hospital (PMCH), Udaipur have been cancelled following the high court order. 100 students whose admissions were cancelled were given admission in the newly allotted seats through NEET UG counselling 2024.

On November 5, a single bench of the Rajasthan High Court, Jodhpur ordered the Rajasthan National Eligibility and Entrance Test-Undergraduate (NEET UG) counselling board to cancel the admissions of 100 MBBS students of PMCH. The court has asked the college not to allow undergraduate medical students to attend classes.

In an interim order, a division bench of the Rajasthan High Court stayed a single bench order that allowed private medical colleges to increase the number of MBBS seats from 150 to 250. The allocation of these seats to students was made subject to the decision of the special appeal bench to be filed in the high court.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that MBBS Students, who were admitted to Pacific Medical College, Bhilo ka Bedla this year, are facing uncertainty regarding their future as a Division bench of the Rajasthan High Court has overturned an earlier order of the High Court allowing an increase of MBBS seats at the institute. 
However, the HC bench comprising Justices Shree Chandrashekhar and Rekha Borana clarified that the students who have already deposited the fee with the Counselling Board, shall be at liberty to pray for a refund of the same and if any such prayer is made, the appellants/Counselling Board shall be under an obligation to refund the same with immediate effect.

In this regard, Rajasthan NEET UG (Medical/Dental) Counselling Board issued a notice, which states that “In compliance with the decision passed by the Single Bench of the Hon'ble High Court Jodhpur on 8th October 2024, 100 additional seats were provisionally allotted to Pacific Medical College and Hospital Udaipur by the Board, which were clearly allotted by describing them as Court Order seats and the allotment and joining made on the said seats were made subject to the decision of the DB Special Appeal to be filed in the Hon'ble High Court”.

“'In compliance with the interim order passed by the Hon'ble Rajasthan High Court Jodhpur on 05 November 2024, the admissions of the candidates who were admitted in compliance with the order of the single bench in Pacific Medical College and Hospital, Bheelon Ka Bedla, Udaipur are cancelled with immediate effect. Pacific Medical College and Hospital are directed not to allow the candidates admitted by court order to enter and attend the class. The total seats for MBBS students in Pacific Medical College and Hospital, Udaipur will be limited to 150. This order is subject to the order of the division bench petition’, the notice further added.

Moreover, through the notice, the counselling board has also said that, in compliance with the interim order of the Hon'ble High Court Jodhpur, if any student wants to get back the one-year tuition fee deposited with the board, he/she can apply for it in person to the chairman of NEET UG 2024.
