Pranab Gyawali, a student who secured 7th position in the MBBS Integrated Entrance Examination but was not included in the scholarship list, has filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court on Sunday.
Lawyer Narayan Khanal has filed a writ petition on his behalf. The Medical Education Commission had decided that Tiwari, who was found to be excellent in the merit of the entrance exam, would not be able to compete for the scholarship.
Pranab Gyawali was removed from the scholarship list as a 'foreign student' on the basis that he passed grade 10 from the Meghalaya Board of School Education in India and passed grade 12 from Gurukul School in Chitwan with a 3.65 GPA .
The Medical Education Act provides for students who have passed SEE from community and private schools to compete separately on the basis of the merit of the entrance exam and receive free scholarships. Gyawali scored 174.5 out of 200 full marks.
According to his father, Chintamani Gyawali, who is employed abroad, their family cannot afford to pay a fee of about 4.5 million rupees for his son to study MBBS.
