BENGALURU: The High Court on Friday directed the state government to consider Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) card holder students for non-government seats by treating them on par with Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) for admission to first-year MBBS/BDS courses.
A division bench of Justices H G Ramesh and S Sujatha issued the direction after disposing of a batch of petitions, filed by several OCI students seeking directions to the government to consider them for government seats as they had their primary and secondary education in Karnataka.
The division bench also said that OCI students will be considered for admission under various categories of seats if they are eligible, except for government quota seats.
00:33 / 00:33
The petitioners have challenged the Rule 5(1) of Karnataka Selection of Candidates for Admission to Government seats in Professional Educational Institutions Rules, 2006 which provides powers to restrict admission to Indian citizens only.
