It also remarked that there could not be any compromise with education. Additional Solicitor General Balbir Singh, appearing for the Centre and Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), submitted that classes had already started in February and it would have a detrimental effect if someone would take classes after 6 to 8 months in these courses.

He explained that in non-clinical seats, one can be an educationist, but cannot be a doctor. The ASG submitted that when it comes to depositing the fees, none takes them up. The ASG said out of 1,456 seats, 1,100 seats are in private institutions and 300 are in govt colleges. In private colleges, fee is too high. -PTC News-
