As per the reports, the petitioner who did both MBBS and MS from India has objected to the addition of the words after "such other tests" in para (4)(ii) (including the proviso) in the notification dated March 4, 2021, issued by the Central government. Para 4 in the NEET SS notification deals with the non-resident Indians.
It states that with regarding the non-resident Indians appearing for the NEET, JEE Main, JEE Advanced, or such other tests to make them eligible for admission only against any non-resident Indian seat or any supernumerary seat, provided that the OCI cardholder shall not be eligible for admission against any seat reserved exclusively for Indian citizens. The petitioner who intends to pursue M Ch Course in Surgical Oncology and has been preparing for the last few years says that the impugned notification would virtually halt her career progression in India. "Until last year, OCIs were eligible to appear for the super speciality entrance exams conducted by the respondent NBE," the petitioner was quoted as saying. The plea filed through advocate Shivendra Singh has sought to declare the words after "such other tests" in para (4)(ii) (including the proviso) unconstitutional and void. The petitioner has also appealed to the court to restrain the respondents from enforcing or giving effect to the words after "such other tests".
