Medical Council of India vs Harshitha & Ors

Bench: 3 — <UNKNOWN>

In Brief

The Supreme Court set aside a High Court order directing the government to accommodate MBBS students in other medical colleges. The Court held that conditional admission to MBBS—contingent on the outcome of litigation—does not give students any right to continue or seek alternate placement. Additionally, students who failed to qualify in the mandatory NEET examination cannot claim admission rights. The Court emphasized that admission is subject to fulfillment of conditions and that only NEET-qualified candidates are eligible for accommodation through counseling.
