Medical PG admissions must be based on 'merit', rules Supreme Court

The Supreme Court ruled that residence-based reservations for PG medical seats are unconstitutional. This violates Article 14 of the Constitution. Seats under the state quota must be filled based solely on NEET exam merits. Current students and graduates with existing domicile reservations will not be impacted. The judgment underscores the importance of merit-based admissions for specialized PG medical courses.
