Relief to MBBS Graduates in Maha: Bond Service on hold for PG Aspirants
Bringing relief to MBBS graduates, the Maharashtra Government has put the one-year government bond service requirement for postgraduate medical admissions on hold.
As per the previous Government Order dating back to 2017, MBBS graduates are required to complete their bond service before joining postgraduate medical courses.
However, issuing an order on Thursday, the State Medical Education Department stayed the requirement. The order stated, "The 2017 state government resolution requiring MBBS graduates to complete their bond service before joining PG courses had been put on hold till further orders."
In the Government Resolutions (GR) issued in October 2017, the State mentioned that the medical graduates from the GMCs would not be considered eligible for MD/MS and PG Diploma courses before completing their bond-service requirement at the remote healthcare facilities and other establishments.

Further, the bench of Chief Justice Sheel Nagu and Justice Sumeet Goel directed the Chandigarh administration to carry out the PG medical admissions at GMCH-32 as per the Apex Court's directions issued in the case of Dr. Tanvi vs Shrey Goel and the top court's order issued on March 24.
