Admission of 36 postgraduate medical students by Saveetha Medical University at Tandalam here was in accordance with norms, the Madras high court ruled on Friday .

But the court said the admissions would be subject to the result of a pending case.It gave the students liberty to apply for state counseling and directed the government to permit them to apply till April 11.

A division bench of Justice S Nagamuthu and Justice Anita Sumanth, noting the court was prima facie convinced that the admis sions were in accordance with the norms of National Board of Examinations and via NEET and the students' marks, said: “The admission of 36 students in the university will be subject to the result of the writ petition.“

The university admitted 36 students on February 23, as per norms issued by National Board of Examinations (NEET-PG 2017) after NBE results were declared in January 2017.

But MCI issued a notification on surrender of 50% of seats to the government and notified it on March 11.

The bench asked MCI why the regulation was belatedly notified.
