While quashing the appeal, the High Court held that untalented teachers in State Board schools were the reason for less pass percentage in NEET 2017 and it was unfair to reserve up to 85 per cent seats for students from the state board. The court also directed the Tamil Nadu government to conduct medical admissions without further delay.
