The AP High Court on Friday directed the NTR University of Health Sciences to publish the merit list submitted by all the medical colleges with regard to ‘C’ category (management quota) seats and also to place it before the court by next Friday.

A division bench comprising Justices V Eswaraiah and N Ravi Shankar was dealing with a plea by M Yashaswee Reddy and four other aspirants for the management quota seats who claimed that despite securing high marks (938, 935, 956, 934 and 916 respectively) in the intermediate exams, their names did not figure in the merit list prepared and sent to the health university for verification and approval by the Apollo Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad.

They had applied for the seats in response to an advertisement given by the college. Some candidates who got lesser marks were included in the merit list as the college management favoured them for its gain.

Various other medical colleges also committed similar irregularities in filling up of ‘C’ category seats in the absence of any checks by the university, they alleged.

The petitioners referred to the earlier interim orders of the court which stated that merit cannot be dispensed with in the admissions to the management quota and alleged that the university did not take any measures to check the non-minority unaided medical institutions from collecting capitation fee or deviating from the merit norm.
