After the Supreme Court refused Maratha quota in post graduate medical and dental courses, the parents of under graduate aspirants are hopeful that the same will be applicable for their wards, too. However, the lack of clarity from the state has left them anxious.

The SC had, on Thursday, dismissed a petition by the state government which had challenged a Bombay High Court order on Maratha quota. The HC had earlier this month ruled against the state government's March 8, 2019, directive to incorporate the Maratha quota under the Socially and Economically Backward Classes (SEBC) category in the PG medical courses. It had said the March 8 notification shall not be applicable as NEET registration started in November last year.
