The Supreme Court on Wednesday expressed its disapproval of the Centre and the Medical Counselling Committee for leaving over 1,400 vacant seats in the NEET-PG course for the academic year 2021-22.
A Vacation Bench of Justices M.R. Shah and Aniruddha Bose said that approximately 1,456 vacant seats would mean a dearth of equal number of qualified doctors for the country.
Justice Shah orally questioned the random increasing of seats during the counselling process and leaving them vacant at the end of it.
