A physically challenged girl, who had lost a seat in MBBS course allotted to her under all India quota in a government medical college in the State due to delay of a couple of seconds in submitting the disability certificate online, can now pursue the course as the High Court of Karnataka has asked the authorities to admit her against a vacant seat.
Tazeen Inamdar, a resident of Belagavi, had started attending MBBS classes from March 28, 2022, at Belgaum Institute of Medical Sciences, Belagavi, after completion of admission formalities on March 24 under the quota for Persons with Disabilities (PwD) in the mop-up round.
Later, the nodal officer of the institute told her about cancellation of her seat because of an issue over the disability certificate, and declined her request to give time till March 31, an extended date for admission as she had to bring a fresh disability certificate from the Goa Medical College and Hospital as required by the authorities.
