In Brief
This judgment concerns the procedural mechanics of counselling for All India Quota medical seats. The Supreme Court clarified that after the second round of All India Quota counselling, unfilled seats revert to States for their own counselling processes. The Court corrected its earlier order which mistakenly directed deemed/Central institutions to also conduct a second round—no such direction applies to them as they do not receive reverted seats. Additionally, the Court extended the deadline for Madhya Pradesh to complete its state-wise second round of counselling from 10 May 2018 to 15 May 2018, granting relief based on operational constraints and the large number of unfilled seats requiring attention."
