Supreme Court Upholds Validity Of 27% OBC Quota In NEET Admissions

The Supreme Court refused to overturn 27% of OBC reservation and 10% quota for Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) in All India Quota seats in the NEET admissions, for UG and PG medical courses. ''Reservation not at odds with merit’', quoted SC. The bench said that competitive exams do not reflect the economic social advantage given to some classes over a period of time and that merit should be socially contextualised.
