¶34

(a) The State Government shall conduct a fresh round of counselling for admission to PG seats by including the additional seats allotted for implementation of EWS quota as per the MCI letter dated 27/02/2020.

¶35

(b) As it is noticed that during pendency of the writ petitions, the first round of All India Counselling and second round of All India Counselling has already commenced, therefore, in the counselling, which is to be done now by the State, all the seats, which have come back to the Sate government after the All India Counselling, shall also be included keeping in view the peculiar circumstances which have arisen and with the view that there is no delay in giving admissions.

¶36

(c) The State Government shall be free to fill EWS 10% quota by applying plain roster of 10%. The roster of direct recruitment shall not be applicable for the said purpose.
