The Supreme Court recently granted permission to a candidate who had completed Class 12 as a private student to secure admission in an MBBS program after participating in NEET counselling. This decision came after the National Medical Commission (NMC) clarified that, under the revised Graduate Medical Education Regulations (GMER) 2023, private students who have completed Class 12 are indeed eligible to appear for the National Entrance-cum-Eligibility Test (NEET). The court’s ruling has provided clarity for students from non-traditional education backgrounds, affirming their right to pursue medical education through NEET. This decision ensures that private candidates have equal opportunities in the competitive medical entrance process, paving the way for broader inclusion in the field of medicine. The case was resolved with the court upholding the NMC’s regulations, which accommodate private candidates within the eligibility criteria for NEET.
