High Court stays directions given to 17 private medical colleges to surrender 212 seats to government quota

Granting relief to altogether 17 private medical colleges, which were earlier directed to surrender a certain number of management/NRI quota MBBS seats to the government quota seats, a Division Bench of the High Court recently stayed the Single Judge bench order in this regard.

These colleges were earlier penalised for violating the norms and admitting students securing lower ranks to MBBS courses in 2018. While granting the stay, the HC Division bench has imposed a condition on the colleges, asking them to deposit the Court the differential amount of fees, charged for the government quota seats in private colleges and the management/NRI quota seats.
