Nataraj held the opinion that students will be in serious problem if the counselling process goes ahead as scheduled. The court was hearing a petition that had challenged the decision of the Centre to provide 27 OBC and 10 percent EWS quota in AIQ seats.

Earlier, the top court had questioned the decision of the Centre on fixing Rs 8 lakh as annual income criteria for the EWS category. "Mr. Arvind Datar has got the communication which was sent only to the colleges for the purpose of verification of seats. There is one more clarificatory notification which has been issued today. Otherwise, counselling will not begin unless the issue has been dealt with by the court somehow," Nataraj was quoted as saying. As per the original NEET PG counselling dates, the registration for the first round was to start on October 25. The last date to complete the registration was October 29.
