Quick Summary: A student named Anjali Patel missed the deadline for medical school counseling due to a misunderstanding. The court has allowed her to ask the university to reconsider her application.
Recently, Anjali Patel asked the court for help because she missed the deadline to participate in medical school counseling. She wanted to apply for the MBBS/BDS courses under the Management Quota "B" and NRI "C" categories for the 2025-26 school year. Unfortunately, Anjali only signed up under the "A" category and didn't know she had to choose her options online before the deadline on September 24, 2025.
The university's lawyer said that the rules were clear. If a student didn't pick their options during the first phase of counseling, they couldn't do it in later phases. This rule is to stop students from holding onto seats without committing. The university had made changes to allow new sign-ups, but only for those who had already picked options in the first phase. Anjali didn't meet this requirement.
The court, led by Chief Justice Sri Aparesh Kumar Singh and Justice G.M. Mohiuddin, decided that Anjali could submit a request to the university. The university must consider her request within two days. If they agree, she could be considered for any open seats in the final round.
The court has not yet decided if Anjali's request will be successful. They have simply allowed her to present her case to the university. This decision gives her a chance, but the outcome is still uncertain. The case was officially closed with no extra costs involved.
