Supreme Court to Hear Plea on Keeping NEET-PG Seats for Transgender Persons

The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear a plea seeking a directive to reserve seats for transgender persons in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test-Postgraduate (NEET-PG). A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta will preside over the matter.

The petition, filed by a transgender medical student, highlights the challenges faced by transgender persons in securing fair representation in medical colleges.

The plea requests a clear, binding directive to prevent discrimination.

The court has previously addressed the issue of transgender rights, and this plea seeks to apply those principles to the medical education system to ensure equal access to higher education.
