Giving a ray of hope to 250 Maratha students whose admissions to PG medical and dental courses were cancelled for the academic year 2019-20, the Election Commission of India has given its approval to issue an ordinance to amend the Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC) Act, 2018. This will be applicable for the admission process for PG medical and dental courses which had started before the implementation of SEBC Act from November 30, 2018." Mahajan informed that the government, on Thursday, sent a communication to the Medical Council of India with a plea to allocate more seats for PG medical and dental coursesin Maharashtra. This is expected to give relief to students from open category seeking admission for PG medical and dental courses in the state. The ordinance was necessitated after the Nagpur bench of the Bombay high court had cancelled all admissions for PG medical and dental courses.
