Ahmedabad: A PIL has been filed in the Gujarat High Court against the allocation of 677 additional seats to the management quota in the ongoing medical college admission process.
The PIL, filed by advocate K R Koshti, said the allocation of 677 extra seats to management quota was against the Gujarat Professional Medical Educational Colleges or Institutions (Regulation of Admission and Fixation of Fees) Act, 2007.
The petition is listed for hearing on Thursday.
There are a total of 5,298 seats in medical colleges in Gujarat, out of which 5,123 seats are in the government category, and 175 seats or 25 percent of 700 seats of five unaided medical colleges are earmarked for management quota.
But the Admission Committee has allocated only 4,446 seats to various categories, and 677 extra seats to management quota including NRI seats in violation of the 2007 Act, it claimed.
