Overview

Observing that altering the admission criteria after commencing the admission process violates the settled principles of fairness, transparency, and non-arbitrariness under Article 14 of the Constitution, the Supreme Court recently set aside the midstream expansion of the zone of consideration for sports quota admissions to MBBS and BDS courses in Punjab.

During the admission for the 2024 session, sports achievements from Classes IX and X were included with the achievements from Classes XI and XII. Earlier, these were challenged before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, which dismissed the pleas.
