The Supreme Court has allowed the commencement of the counselling process fo<\/span>r NEET-PG and NEET-UG<\/span><\/a> for 2021-22 admissions on the basis of the existing 27% quota for Other Backward Classes (OBC) and 10% reservation for Economically Weaker Sections (EWS)<\/a><\/strong> in the <\/span>All India Quota(AIQ).<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

What was the issue?<\/b><\/h5>\n

A petition was filed in the Supreme Court challenging the 27% and 10% reservation for the OBC and EWS categories respectively while filling 15% undergraduate and 50% postgraduate AIQ seats under NEET.<\/span><\/p>\n

On this petition, the Supreme Court raises questions about the \u20b9 8 lakh income limit to\u00a0<\/span>identify the EWS category. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the Supreme Court decision now?<\/b><\/h5>\n

Firstly, <\/b>the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of 27% OBC reservation. <\/span>There won’t be a further hearing on this aspect.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Secondly, <\/b>on the criteria to determine the EWS (Rupees 8 lakhs gross annual income cut-off), the Court allowed the existing criteria to operate for the current admission year so as to not delay the admission process further.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, <\/span>future application of EWS criteria<\/b> will be subject to the final decision of the Supreme Court.<\/span><\/p>\n
