Supreme Court rejects MBBS aspirant's plea to swap MCC seat for cheaper option - Video

Dismissing a plea filed by an MBBS aspirant, the Supreme Court has recently refused to change her allocation of a seat in the National Eligibility-Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET) 2025 counselling process.

Approaching the Supreme Court, the aspirant had prayed for permission to vacate the seat allocated to her by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), to secure a more affordable option.

However, while considering the plea, the top court bench comprising Justices P.S. Narasimha and Atul S. Chandurkar observed that allowing the student to vacate her MCC-allotted seat just to secure a cheaper option could ultimately lead to the wastage of a medical seat for the entire academic year. This, according to the Supreme Court, is a matter of public interest, given the country's demands for medical education. Further, the bench stressed that the court would not risk the loss of a valuable medical seat at this advanced stage of admissions.
