Agartala, Aug 10, 2011 : The Guwahati High Court rejected the writ petition filed by 17 students over the cut off marks impasse for admission to MBBS course on Tuesday.

Justice UB Saha in a hearing said, the petition for relaxing the cut off marks goes against the MCI guidelines that was approved by the Supreme Court of India for the value and standard of medical education.

The students filed a writ petition before Guwahati High Court and sought judicial intervention for the admission of ST candidates in vacant seats making Medical Council of India (MCI) a party.

Earlier, one Dr. Biplab Jamatia also challenged the role of Tripura Joint Entrance Examination Board over the issue.

Meantime, Chief Minister Manik Sarkar held a telephonic discussion with Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad over the standing problem on Tuesday.

The Union Minister, however, could not throw much light on the deadlock. He said, ‘We are working on it. We shall get back to the state government as soon as something comes out’.
