Supreme Court Orders Inquiry Against Gujarat Ayurved Colleges Over Illegal NEET Admissions

The Supreme Court refused to interfere with the Gujarat High Court’s decision denying relief to students admitted to BAMS and BHMS courses without qualifying the minimum NEET percentile prescribed under the AYUSH Regulations.

The Court noted that the colleges granted conditional admissions despite the students failing to meet the mandatory cut-off.

Observing that the matter raised serious concerns of illegal admissions affecting students’ futures, the Court ordered an inquiry into six Gujarat Ayurved colleges.

It directed the Gujarat Ayurved University and the Central Council of Indian Medicine to constitute a Joint Committee to conduct a detailed investigation.
