After HC order, Rajasthan NEET Counselling Board Cancels 100 MBBS Admissions At Pacific Medical College

Rajasthan- Recently, the admission of 100 MBBS students made at Pacific Medical College and Hospital (PMCH), Udaipur have been cancelled following the high court order. 100 students whose admissions were cancelled were given admission in the newly allotted seats through NEET UG counselling 2024.

On November 5, a single bench of the Rajasthan High Court, Jodhpur ordered the Rajasthan National Eligibility and Entrance Test-Undergraduate (NEET UG) counselling board to cancel the admissions of 100 MBBS students of PMCH. The court has asked the college not to allow undergraduate medical students to attend classes.

In an interim order, a division bench of the Rajasthan High Court stayed a single bench order that allowed private medical colleges to increase the number of MBBS seats from 150 to 250. The allocation of these seats to students was made subject to the decision of the special appeal bench to be filed in the high court.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that MBBS Students, who were admitted to Pacific Medical College, Bhilo ka Bedla this year, are facing uncertainty regarding their future as a Division bench of the Rajasthan High Court has overturned an earlier order of the High Court allowing an increase of MBBS seats at the institute. However, the HC bench comprising Justices Shree Chandrashekhar and Rekha Borana clarified that the students who have already deposited the fee with the Counselling Board, shall be at liberty to pray for a refund of the same and if any such prayer is made, the appellants/Counselling Board shall be under an obligation to refund the same with immediate effect.
