10. An examination of the reservation system adopted by the respondent since July 2013 indicates that the respondent provides for reservation in admission to various specialities at two levels. The first being the reservation based on the total number of seats available for admission in each session. The prospectus for July 2013 session indicates that overall 121 seats were available in MD, MS & MDS degree courses. 90 seats were available in Post Graduate degree course in Clinical Sciences which included 17 different specialities, 26 seats were available in Basic Clinical Sciences which included 9 specialities and 5 seats were available in MDS degree course which includes 4 specialities. Thus, in aggregate 121 seats were available in 3 disciplines and 30 specialities. Out of 121 seats that were available, 33 seats were reserved for candidates belonging to OBC category, 18 seats and 10 seats were reserved for candidates belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes respectively. Thus, 27.5% of the overall seats in the July 2013 session were reserved for OBC candidates and 14.88% and 8.3% of the total seats were reserved for candidates belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes respectively. Thus, if viewed from the perspective of the total seats available for the July 2013 session, there could be no dispute that the respondent did provide for the reservations as specified under the Act.
