NEET: Supreme Court orders combined counselling in Maharashtra

The court also said the admissions already made would not get affected

In a major relief to the students, the Supreme Court today ordered for combined counselling for all unfilled medical seats in Maharashtra.

The court also said the admissions already made would not get affected. Thousands of medical students, who cleared National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) this year, have already got seats in various colleges.

The apex court also said the admission process have to be completed by October 7.

With this decision, confusion over admission to private and deemed universities in the state is cleared. The deemed universities argued the state government is violating their fundamental right to administer their own institutions and hold individual counselling for students.

As per reports, 85 per cent of seats was already filled.

In another case, the apex court refused to interfere in any admissions already made by the medical colleges in Kerala
