Maharashtra govt extends deadline for PG medical admissions
The state government on Monday decided to extend the deadline for submitting admission forms for postgraduate programmes in medicine by a week. The last day for submitting the admission form was May 15, which has now been extended.
The assurance was given by Minister for Higher and Medical Education Girish Mahajan after over 250 MBBS students from the Maratha community staged a demonstration at Azad Maidan in Mumbai to protest against the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down the 16 per cent Maratha quota in postgraduate medical seats this year. The students want the 16 per cent quota for Marathas implemented from this year in postgraduate medical admissions.
However, the state government’s decision was challenged in court. The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Nagpur bench of Bombay High Court, which disapproved Maratha quota in higher medical studies. After the apex court’s decision, the Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (CET) issued circular cancelling admission under the SEBC quota. The decision has affected 253 students.
