High Court Directs PG Medical Admissions Following Supreme Court Ruling
Imagine you're applying for a special medical training.
The Supreme Court said that where you live shouldn't give you an advantage.
The court told a hospital in Chandigarh to follow this rule, using only merit, except for some allowed preferences.
This means that when filling spots, they have to follow what the higher court has already decided.

Admissions are to be conducted according to the Supreme Court's Shrey Goel judgment.
The Supreme Court ruled against residence-based reservations for PG medical seats.
Institutional preference is allowed to a limited extent.
