PANJIM: Adjourning the hearing in the case filed by five affected students, the High Court of Bombay at Goa has directed to make parties to the case the other students who could not get admission to the MBBS course and three other professional courses due to admission being on the basis of provisional merit list.
The Court observed that before giving its final verdict in the writ petition filed by the students, it is necessary to hear all 11 students who were affected following admissions allowed by Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) to 11 students from 110 students who had considered filling forms on HC directions.
The Court will hear the students on September 25 before giving a final order in the intervention petition.
Following an earlier order of the High Court, 110 students applied after DTE’s cutoff date of May 26 to get admission in the MBBS, BDS, BAMS and BHMS courses, while the merit was already decided by DTE.
On the basis of NEET scores and rankings, out of 110 students, 11 students got admissions in the provisional merit list following the HC direction while 11 students from the original merit list got rejected in the provisional merit list.
Of 11 students, six have filed intervention applications before the HC, who could not get admissions due to admissions of late applicants.
The students, who applied after the cutoff date, are claiming admission contending that the cutoff date was before the NEET result while five students challenged the admissions accepted after the cutoff date.
