SG responds to arguments that there cannot be OBC reservation in PG, Super-Specialty courses.
SG : At the outset, super speciality has no reservation. NEET exam has nothing to do with admission in super speciality. Second, Article 15(5) does not distinguish between under graduation and post-graduation when it says State can have reservations for socially and educationally backward class.

SG: By the time your lordship came to consider PG Admission etc and my colleague ensured that counselling would not proceed position was that IIT's - all central universities implemented this 27% OBC & 10% EWS because that is the decision taken as back as in Jan 2019.
All UPSC exams are taking place with this 27% OBC and 10% economically weaker section.
