The Supreme Court has issued a landmark ruling regarding the admission of disabled individuals into MBBS programs. The court stated that a candidate should only be barred from admission if it is proven that they cannot complete their studies.
Justice BR Gavai, heading the bench, emphasized that a student with a 45 percent disability should be considered for admission. The court maintained that a candidate’s eligibility cannot be solely determined by their disability percentage. It ordered that cases involving disabled students be referred to the Disability Assessment Board for evaluation.
This decision arose from a petition filed by student Omkar, who challenged the Graduate Medical Education Regulation of 1987. This regulation currently prohibits individuals with 40 percent or more disability from enrolling in MBBS programs. The National Medical Council’s rules also stipulate that candidates with more than 40 percent disability are ineligible for admission.
