Maharashtra AYUSH Courses Get Fourth CAP Round Amidst Fairness Row
27 Nov
Summary
- Maharashtra announces a special fourth CAP round for AYUSH admissions.
- This round aims to correct perceived unfairness in previous admissions.
- The Bombay High Court previously highlighted issues with AYUSH seat allocation.
The State Common Entrance Test (CET) cell in Maharashtra has announced a special fourth Centralised Admission Process (CAP) round, specifically for AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, Homeopathy) courses. This unprecedented move provides a fresh opportunity for medical aspirants to secure admissions in their preferred AYUSH institutions.
The decision comes after the Bombay High Court observed that a restrictive admission rule led to students with lower marks obtaining seats in reputable AYUSH colleges. The court's intervention highlighted potential inequities in the allocation process, particularly concerning the timing of admission rounds for different course groups.
This additional CAP round is intended to rectify perceived injustices and restore a fair, merit-based system for AYUSH admissions. Advocates and parent activists have welcomed the decision, emphasizing the need for proactive measures to prevent future litigation and ensure equitable opportunities for all students.
