Followiing Supreme Court judgement, Goa government has decided to scrap the medical admissions at Goa Medical College filled as per the National Eligibility Entrance Test.
All the 188 seats would be now refilled on the basis of general merit.
Meritorious students who were left out had approached Bombay high court at Goa after the Supreme Court had ordered last week to scrap NEET for medical admissions.
The GMC has 150 seats for MBBS and 38 seatss for different post-graduate courses.

Some students made an inquiry with me today about the Supreme Court decision. In this regards in the interest of the students let me clarify that the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in its 2nd last para holds "all actions including admissions" under NEET to be "valid" while scrapping the notifications. So the students who have already undergone NEET they all are valid for admissions. The judgment is applicable from the next year. Further this judgment is given by a bench of 3 judges, 2 against NEET and 1 for. The Central Govt is seeking a review of the judgment i am told. already out of the 2 who were against 1 judge has retired. so at the time of review there will be only 2 original judges 1 for and 1 against, 3rd being neutral. So it is possible that judgment might be reviewed. I am sure the Hon'ble High Court would consider the issue sympathetically keeping all aspects and the interest of the students in mind.
