Headnote | Education/Educational Institutions: Admission – Eligibility criteria – Formulation of eligibility standards for admission is within the domain of executive and regulatory authorities. Education/Educational Institutions: NEET-PG 2022 – Admission – Writ petition instituted by doctors, aspirants of NEET PG 2022 challenging the deadline set for completion of internship for appearing for NEET-PG 2022 – Students claimed that the commencement of internships was delayed due to Covid situation and as a consequence they would not be able to fulfill the cut-off date and therefore, sought extention of cut-off date to accommodate them in NEET-PG 2022 – In the alternative, it was alleged that the period spent on Covid duties should be allowed to be counted towards the internship requirements – Held: The authorities have provided cogent reasons as to why the deadline for completing the internship cannot be extended – An extension of the cut-off any further would result in the disruption of the educational schedule, as indicated to the Court by the Additional Solicitor General – Moreover, students who have qualified in terms of the cut-off of 31 July 2022 will be prejudiced by the inevitable postponement of the schedule – Hence, no such directions can be passed – The alternative prayer for inclusion of period of Covid duties in the internship requirements would also involve this Court in micromanaging the curriculum for the completion of medical courses – This is a function which should not be assumed by the Court – Hence, though hardship has been caused to those students whose internship commenced much later, it would not be possible, at this stage, to disturb the schedule as it would affect the other students who fulfill the cut-off date of 31 July 2022 – Petition under Art.32 of the Constitution cannot be entertained – Constitution of India – Art.32 |
