In Brief
The Supreme Court dismissed an application by a medical college association seeking extension of time until 21 June 2017 to fill vacant postgraduate medical and dental seats for the 2017-18 academic session. The Court found the association's claim that a High Court judgment prevented admissions was incorrect, as that judgment only affected Aligarh Muslim University, Banaras Hindu University, and certain in-service candidates—not private colleges. Vacant seats existed because candidates declined admission in non-clinical courses with high fees. The Court held that the established admission schedule must be strictly followed and refused the extension.
