Private medical collages are not obliagated to reserve seats for NRI Students : Supreme Court

There is no obligation on private medical colleges to provide reservation for Non-Resident Indians (NRI) and it is the discretion of the management of such colleges to provide such quota, the Supreme Court ruled on Friday.However, if a medical college or institution decides to do away with such quota, reasonable notice of such a decision should be given to enable those aspiring to such seats to choose elsewhere, the bench headed by Justice L Nageswara Rao said.

Private colleges and institutions can decide whether, and to what extent, they wish to offer NRI quota.Yet that discretion should be tempered; if the discretion to have such a quota is (initially) exercised, it should (if) revised or modified (be done) reasonably, and within a reasonable time,” the bench which also comprised justice S Ravindra Bhat held.

The court was hearing a plea filed by certain medical candidates challenging a judgment of the Rajasthan high court which had upheld the change of seat matrix for admission to postgraduate (PG) medical and dental seats in colleges in the State of Rajasthan, for the academic year 2020-21, by eliminating the NRI quota.
