MCI rule on bonus marks for docs in PG courses would apply: SC

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court today said the admissions to post-graduate medical courses in Rajasthan as per NEET ranks will take place in accordance with the MCI Regulations after giving incentive marks to MBBS doctors who have served in Government health facilities in remote areas.

A bench of Justices Dipak Misra, A M Khanwilkar and M M Shantanagoudar rejected a prayer of petitioner doctors, who are not in Government service, to stay the Rajasthan High Court order granting 10, 20 and 30 per cent incentive marks in PG admissions to Government doctors for rendering services in rural areas for a period of one, two and three years respectively.

The top court passed the order on a batch of pleas filed by non-service doctors and said the matters will be finally heard in August and the admissions of this year will be subject to the final outcome of the petitions. (AGENCIES)
