Do Not Fill 1 MBBS Seat at Kurnool Medical College- HC Orders Varsity
Vijayawada: While considering the grievance of an MBBS candidate seeking admission under the BC-E category, the Andhra Pradesh High Court recently directed Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences not to fill one MBBS seat in the open merit category at Kurnool Medical College (KMC) during the third phase of counselling for admission to first-year MBBS course.
The HC bench comprising Chief Justice Dhiraj Singh Thakur and Justice Ravi Cheemalapati issued this direction after taking note of the petitioner's submission that even though eight seats were reserved for the BC-E category at KMC, only seven were filled and the institute diverted the remaining seat to the general open merit category.
After appearing in the National Eligibility-Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET-UG) examination conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA), the petitioner student secured 626 marks and applied for admission under the BC-E category, as NTRUHS reserved altogether eight seats for this category in its seat matrix.
