Overview

A technical glitch in the university's online counselling portal, which prevented a candidate from completing the choice-filling process despite depositing the prescribed security fee, has prompted the Himachal Pradesh High Court to direct the authorities, including Atal Medical and Research University (AMRU), to grant her admission to an MBBS course in a government medical college for the academic year 2026-27.

The petitioner in this case is a Scheduled Caste (SC) candidate who appeared in the NEET-UG 2026 examination and secured 442 marks out of 720 in NEET-UG 2026. Despite depositing the prescribed Rs 1 lakh security fee within the deadline for the second round of counselling, she could not fill in her college choices because the payment was not reflected on the counselling portal.
