All medical colleges of the country are preparing to enroll students in
their MBBS courses on the basis of scores of NEET (National
Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test) for the coming academic year in 2013-14.
But many medical colleges have knocked the doors of to the Supreme Court
for seeking exemption from the exam on the basis that they are minority
institutions.
A bench comprising Chief Justice Altamas Kabir and Justices S S Nijjar and J Chelameswar started hearing on the petition filed by these 76 institutions. In which, they claimed that they come under religious or linguistic minority colleges. They were given autonomy in administration of their educational institutions under Article 30 of the Constitution.
In the lead case, which was of Christian Medical College, Vellore, the Court has given them permission to get application for its own entrance examination for filling up MBBS seats. But after hearing the views of Medical Council of India counsel Nidesh Gupta, the court had put caution stating that, “this will not entitle the respondent institution to claim any equity on the basis thereof.”
According to this, if the colleges lose the case in the apex court, they will not be allowed to conduct a separate examination on the basis that they have already received application from candidates.
This interim order has given permission to minority education institutions to get applications from candidates for appearing in their entrance test for filling their respective undergraduate programme seats. The order was extended to all colleges which approached the apex court invoking the Article 30.
