Files petition in Supreme Court for approval for 2007-08 admissions

New Delhi: The Centre has sought the Supreme Court’s approval for providing 22.5 per cent reservation to the Scheduled Caste and the Scheduled Tribes under the all-India quota in postgraduate admissions to government medical colleges in 2008– 2008.

For 2006 – 2007, the Centre did not provide for SC / ST reservation under the 50 percent all India quota, as a 2005 apex court judgment said the 50 per cent all India quotas should be exclusive of reservation.

As a result, reservation was provided only under the 50 per cent State quota.
