Allahabad HC quashes PIL challenging decision to reduce NEET-PG cut-off marks for SC/ST/OBCs

The Allahabad High Court has dismissed a Public Interest Litigation challenging the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences' decision. This decision allows counselling for SC, ST, and OBC students who scored minus 40 in NEET-PG 2025. The court noted similar petitions were dismissed elsewhere. The petitioner argued the reduced cut-off undermined merit and public health.
