Illegal BDS admissions: Supreme Court Fines 10 Rajasthan Dental Colleges Rs 10 Crore each for lowering NEET Cutoff - Video
|
Overview
Observing that the State Government does not have the authority to reduce the minimum qualifying percentage in the NEET UG exam, the Supreme Court recently held that such a decision of the Rajasthan Government for admission to the Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) course for the academic year 2016-2017 was completely illegal.
Even though the top court bench held that the BDS admissions were irregular, it granted protection to the degrees of the students who have already completed the BDS course. However, the Apex Court also imposed a Rs 10 crore fine each on 10 private dental colleges and the State Government for diluting the statutory norms governing dental education.
