HC grants urgent relief to 116 medical PG in-service candidates, directs fresh CAP round 1 to be conducted. The Bombay High Court (Aurangabad Bench) has directed the Maharashtra CET Cell to revise the merit list for in-service candidates in the 20% quota after adding incentive marks for service in rural, hilly, and Naxalite areas. This comes after two petitions (Ashish Patni v. State of Maharashtra and Mahesh Gurav v. State of Maharashtra) filed through Talekar and Associates highlighted the State's failure to implement its own policy regarding incentive marks. The issue arose due to the introduction of the percentile system and the difficulty in adding incentive marks to the percentile scores. The Court conducted a hand-holding exercise with the National Board of Examinations and relevant authorities. On December 6, 2024, a solution was finally found to add the incentive marks to the candidates' percentiles. The CET Cell is now instructed to publish the revised merit list, allow the 116 affected candidates to resubmit their preferences, and conduct fresh seat allocation for the 20% in-service candidate quota by December 15, 2024, to avoid delays in the second CAP round. Adv. Pradnya Talekar along with Adv. Umakant Awate and Adv. Vishakha Patil appeared in the matter for the petitioners. https://lnkd.in/gwGicMPS #talekarandassociates #highcourt #litigation #medicalpg #medicaleducation #studentsadmission #educationlaws #legalawareness #legalaid

My MBBS notes have helped thousands of aspiring doctors for 30 years. As 2024 draws to a close, I complete three decades in medicine. However, I still find myself looking back at the time I joined Baroda Medical College. Back then, I was just another medical student trying to cope up with mountains of textbooks. This was before Google and YouTube - when finding simplified medical information was like searching for a needle in a haystack. To cope, I developed my own system: creating clear, concise MBBS notes that broke down complex concepts into digestible pieces. What I didn't realize was that these notes would become something much bigger than my personal study notes. Over the years, these notes passed from hand to hand, class to class, becoming a trusted companion for thousands of medical students across Baroda and Gujarat. The feedback I received was overwhelming - students found not just information, but confidence and clarity in those pages. Their improved understanding showed in better exam performances, and many went on to become renowned doctors worldwide. Today, many of these students-turned-successful-doctors remain close friends, practicing across the globe. As we’re close to 2025, I'm inspired to create a similar impact in vascular and circulatory health awareness. This time, I plan to leverage social media to reach an even wider audience. Here's to continuing the tradition of sharing knowledge and making medical education more accessible for generations to come. That’s all. Quick question: Have you ever had a chance to read my MBBS notes? Do let me know how it helped you 👇 And also, do Follow ME Dr Sumit Kapadia if you love this post. #doctor #mbbs #vascularhealth #medicine #medical
