Overview
- The inaugural MBBS list remains in place, with 42 of 50 seats going to Muslim students under NEET-based selection and an 85% quota for J&K residents.
- BJP, VHP and Bajrang Dal have demanded cancellation of the list and a quota limited to devotees, with BJP leader Sunil Sharma taking the case to Lt Governor Manoj Sinha.
- Omar Abdullah says religion-linked admissions violate constitutional principles and suggests those seeking exclusions pursue formal minority-institute status.
- NC spokesman Tanvir Sadiq highlighted budget papers showing grants to the affiliating SMVD University—Rs 24 crore last year and Rs 28 crore this year—to counter claims of pilgrim-donations-only funding.
- Officials note the college lacks minority status, so no religion-based reservation can apply, and no authority has announced any reversal or revision of the admissions.
