Supreme Court Orders Tamil Nadu to Surrender 151 Vacant NEET-SS Seats
The Supreme Court has mandated the Tamil Nadu government to surrender 151 vacant super speciality medical seats to the All India Quota. This directive prevents these specialized seats from remaining unfilled after state counseling rounds, ensuring they remain accessible to qualified candidates nationwide through the central pool.
The Supreme Court intervention addresses the under-utilization of DM and MCh seats within Tamil Nadu's state-run medical colleges. By requiring the transfer of 151 vacant spots to the All India Quota (AIQ), the court prioritizes merit-based access to advanced medical education, effectively curbing the wastage of critical academic resources. This ruling balances state-level administrative control against the necessity for a centralized, efficient distribution of super-speciality training positions.
