    CASE SUMMARY: The Chhattisgarh High Court dismissed Smriti Pandey's petition challenging the National Medical Commission's rejection of her eligibility certificate application for a medical screening test. Pandey, who completed her MBBS from Kyrgyzstan in 2022, scored 49.67% in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology in her 2017 Class 12 exam, falling short of the mandatory 50% threshold required under Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 1997. The court upheld the strict application of eligibility criteria, rejecting her arguments for rounding off marks as an exception, and noted discrepancies in her submitted certificates from different boards for the same year, rendering her claim suspicious.
