Information
The State Cabinet on Friday is likely to discuss its next move following two crucial judgements by the High Court and Supreme Court regarding admissions to professional colleges.

A decision whether to a file review petition in the Supreme Court against the seven-judge bench that ruled against government fixing any quotas for admission in professional colleges will be taken by the Cabinet tomorrow, Chief Minister Dharam Singh told reporters.

According to sources, the government is likely to file an appeal before a division bench of the Karnataka High Court challenging Wednesdays single judge order quashing the admissions of 238 students to MBBS courses as they had failed to score 50 per cent marks in the entrance test. A formal decision to file the appeal is likely to be whetted by the Cabinet on Friday.

Meanwhile, sources in the higher education department said that the CET Cell will wait for a few more days before notifying the dates for casual vacancy round for admission to MBBS, BDS, Indian systems of medicine, homoeopathy, BE and B.Arch courses.

The casual vacancy round originally scheduled from August 13 had to be indefinetely postponed awaiting the High Court verdict relating to eligibility for admissions to medical courses. We will have to start the counselling by the third week of August to adhere to Medical Council of India deadline of August 31 to complete the second round of admissions, officials said.

The CET Cell is drawing a fresh medical rank list eliminating students who have not scored 50 per cent marks in CET. In case there is an adverse verdict on the appeal, we will have to offer the 238 medical seats afresh in the casual vacancy round. However, students who forego their medical seat have the option of selecting an engineering seat during the same round, officials said.
