The Supreme Court of India has issued a landmark ruling regarding admissions for differently-abled students seeking to pursue a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) degree. The court stated that a benchmark disability of 40% should not disqualify an individual from medical education. Each candidate's case will be evaluated on an individual basis, and the existence of a 40% disability alone cannot prevent a student from pursuing their studies unless there is expert evidence indicating that the candidate is incapacitated. This decision is expected to significantly impact the accessibility of medical education for differently-abled aspirants.
