Meanwhile, in a dissenting judgment, Justice Anil Dave dismissed petitions by private medical and dental colleges challenging the MCI notification providing for common entrance test for both undergraduate and postgraduate medical and dental courses.
Private universities can now conduct their own entrance exam for admssions to medical and dental courses.
