KARACHI: The Sindh High Court admitted on Monday a plea challenging the 2022 admission policy of the government to allow only people having domicile of the Sindh province to apply to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) School of Nursing and Jinnah College of Nursing.
The Sindh High Court (SHC) issued notices to the federal government, the JPMC executive director, and principals of Jinnah College of Nursing at the Jinnah Medical and Dental College and JPMC School of Nursing.
The lawyer of the petitioner said that the two nursing institutions entertained applications from students of every region of Pakistan under a quota system for admission in all degree and diploma courses.
However, from 2022, ‘quota’ seats were no longer set aside for students of other provinces, while the admission required included the condition that only those with Sindh domicile would be given admission.
The petition requested that the domicile requirement should be removed from the admission policy.
The court issued notices to parties concerned and sought their replies.
