No irregularities were found in the medical admission tests, said the Exam Committee of MBBS admissions after re-evaluating 5,000 answer scripts.

Upholding the result published on April 4, the body said the intakes of the 2020-2021 academic year will start on 22 May and continue until 7 June.

Earlier, a writ petition was filed with the High Court on Wednesday seeking cancellation of the medical intake results, alleging that it contained "numerous errors and major inconsistencies."
