A few hours after the Supreme Court order, the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has released a notification on the official website, mcc.nic.in, saying the schedule for the all India quota NEET counselling process will be released soon.
“Counselling Schedule for NEET-PG and UG 2021 counselling will soon be uploaded on Official website of MCC, DGHS,” the MCC said. It has also notified the Supreme Court decision on EWS and OBC reservation.
As per the Supreme Court order, there will be 27 per cent reservation in undergraduate and postgraduate medical seats of the all India quota. For EWS quota, 10 per cent reservation has been permitted for this year, so that the counselling process can take place, and for the upcoming years, the criteria of the quota will be decided in the next hearing scheduled fo March, 2022.
A bench of justices DY Chandrachud and AS Bopanna, which had for two consecutive days heard the matter on applicability of Rs 8 lakh annual income criteria for determination of economically weaker section (EWS), passed an interim order, saying "there is an urgent need to commence the process of counselling".
It said that it is passing operative directions while the detailed reasons would follow shortly. The apex court passed the interim order on a batch of pleas filed by doctors challenging a July 29, 2021, notice of the Centre and the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) providing 27 per cent reservation for OBC and 10 per cent for EWS in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET-PG) admissions for medical courses for the academic year 2021-22.
This year, reservation in AIQ NEET counselling will be:
- SC: 15 per cent
- ST: 7.5 per cent
- PwD - Horizontal reservation as per MCC norms: 5 per cent
- OBC (Non-creamy layer) as per the central OBC list: 27 per cent
- EWS (As per central government norms): 10 per cent
