19. The MCI's stand is discernible from the following extracts of its counter affidavit:

"89. It is respectfully reiterated that candidates who have passed 10+2 examination after 12 years of study in the requisite subjects have put in sustained effort with teaching and training along with practicals in the concerned subjects during the last 2 years and when such candidates obtain the minimum percentage of marks as required under the Statutory Regulations, it is this standard of excellence which is sought for a highly technical/scientific course in medicine. There can be no comparison between candidates who have undergone teaching and training along with practicals in the concerned WP(C) No.6773/2018 Page 27 subjects for two years prior to appearing in the 10+2 examination, whereafter through their diligence & hard work achieved the minimum percentage of marks as required under the Statutory Regulations and certain other candidates who will pass the subjects without having to sustain the pressure of attending a regular school along with the other subjects to qualify the concerned subject.
90. It is humbly reiterated that the Statutory Regulation seeks to obtain candidates for admission in MBBS course of a particular caliber, who shall be judged on the basis of their competence to score a requisite percentage of marks when he/ she undergoes teaching and training along with practicals in the concerned subjects while attending a regular school thus obtaining a particular percentage of marks in the concerned subjects. On the other hand, in respect of candidates who did not undergo teaching and training along with practicals in the concerned subjects for two years prior to appearing in the 10+2 examination, there being no restriction on the manner of teaching and training along with practicals in the concerned subjects, shall make the object to the Statutory Regulations redundant as there will be no parameter to judge their level of competence at that stage. The caliber of the candidates who obtain admission in MBBS course shall determine the quality of teaching and training of MBBS students and the finally the quality of doctors who shall provide health care in the Country.
