Courts Grant Relief to NEET-UG 2026 Candidates on Admission Quota Issues
Two recent court rulings addressed challenges faced by NEET-UG 2026 candidates related to admission quotas. The Telangana High Court ruled that children of central government employees transferred outside the state should be treated as local candidates for MBBS and BDS admissions. Meanwhile, the Gauhati High Court allowed an Army personnel's daughter to submit a late document verification due to power outages in her remote village, directing authorities to consider her case sympathetically under the defence personnel quota.
