HC orders Kurnool Medical College not to fill 1 MBBS seat - Video

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.
