💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court ruled that a person with a disability of 40% or more is not automatically barred from pursuing medical education. The court emphasized that the candidate's capacity to pursue the MBBS course must be assessed by a disability assessment board. The top court's decision came on a plea by student Omkar, who challenged the Graduate Medical Education Regulation of 1997 that prevents people with such disabilities from pursuing MBBS.
