The petitioners have approached this Court assailing the decision of the respondents as published on their web-portal dated 23.04.2022 informing the prospective candidates that the admission to the B.Sc. (Nursing) course in MNS for the academic session 2022-23 will be based on the score obtained by the candidates in NEET UG-2022.

In the said examination the students were tested in General English, General Intelligence and Science with 50 marks for each of these three subjects.
