NEET: PIL filed on reservation of seats in Madras government medical colleges

The petitioner, who cited information received under RTI, said of 5,400 seats available in medical colleges only 106 students who studied in Tamil Medium have got their medical seats which is only 2 per cent.

Stating that the above data creates a false image that the students who have studied in Tamil medium will not get the medical seats, the petitioner said in Karnataka reservation of 5 per cent seats was made available to candidates who studied Kannada medium in medical colleges.

The petitioner sought a direction from the Court to reserve 5 per cent of the seats to the students who studied in Tamil medium.
