SC refuses additional Mop up round for filling nursing courses 2021-22

The apex court has dismissed plea of St Stephens Hospital College of Nursing and Angela Biju seeking a direction for additional Mop up round for filling nursing courses 2021-22.

The Supreme Court has refused to direct Indian Nursing Council and Centre to conduct an additional mop up round for filling up seats in nursing courses in Delhi for the academic year 2021-22.

The admission process for the nursing courses in Delhi ended on March 31, 2022 for the academic session of 2021-22. However, the plea stated that time schedule for two government nursing colleges was extended from March 31 to May 15 and hence, such a relief can be granted to St Stephens Hospital College of Nursing as well.

“The process of admission in educational institutions cannot be endless and it must come to an end at a particular point in time. The extension or deviation in the time schedule may ultimately affect the education. Under the circumstances, we see no reason to interfere with the judgement /order passed by the (Delhi) high court. Both the SLPs (Special Leave Petitions) stand dismissed,” said the vacation bench of justices M R Shah and Aniruddha Bose, as reported by Business Today.

“From the notification issued by the Indian Nursing Council, the last date of admission for the academic year 2021-22 was March 31, 2022. As per the settled position, the time schedule for the admission in education institutions has to be adhered to. As such the high court has rightly refused to entertain the petition and grant any relief of further mop up round to fill up the seats which have remained vacant,” the bench added.
