What is the supreme Court verdict of CMC vellore MBBs admissions?

Supreme court urt case around CMCs petition against the NEET common counselling process has now been listed for February 23, 2018.





The case was last heard by a two-member Bench comprising Justices Arun Mishra and MM Shantanagoudar who issued instructions for other isued instructions for other similar cases involving Christian Medical College and Christian Dental College in Ludhiana, to be clubbed together with CMC Vellores. It looks like the verdict for these cases, in which both the unrelated institutions are seeking a separate counselling process outside of NEET, will be given on February 23.





The chances of admissions being conducted for the remaining 99 vacant MBBS seats at CMC Vellore for 2017-18 is extremely low. But given that it is the Supreme Court, any verdict may be issued. The most likely possibility at this point would be that the current batch would proceed with one student only and interested candidates will have to appear for and qualify NEET 2018 to apply to CMC for the 2018-19 session irrespective of whether it is the MCC or the college which conducts the counselling. Other unlikely possibilities include candidates being allowed admissions as per a modified session schedule, or perhaps be allowed to use their NEET 2017 score for next years admissions.

Hope it helps

Hi Deva,

The hearing for CMC Vellore admissions for 2017-18 has now been adjourned to February 23rd. At this juncture, it looks like the admissions won't be carried out for the first year MBBS despite whatever the Court rules. The best case scenario will be if CMC allows candidates who have completed first year MBBS at other reputed institutions to join from the second year onwards through some separate selection process but the chances of this happening are highly unlikely.

I would recommend that if you are really keen on getting admissions to CMC Vellore, appear for NEET 2018 and clear it with the best possible marks. CMC Vellore will be holding admissions on the basis of NEET marks only, but the rest of the admission process will be known through the SC verdict.
