Karnataka Governor approves Proposal to Relax Compulsory Rural Service for MBBS graduates
Karnataka: Proposal to Relax Compulsory Rural Service for MBBS graduates Gets Governor's Approval
In a major relief to the medical students in Karnataka, the Governor of the State, Thaawarchand Gehlot, recently approved the Karnataka Compulsory Service by Candidates completed Medical Courses (Amendment) Ordinance, 2025, which will allow them to pursue postgraduate medical education without completing the bond service obligation first.
Under this amendment, the Government will relax the rule requiring medical graduates to mandatorily serve in rural areas after their graduation.
The ordinance stated that the vacancies in the rural areas of Karnataka will be filled on priority basis and if the number of candidates are more than the number of vacancies in rural areas, then the vacancies in urban areas may be filled by posting the candidates with a clause making it mandatory for them to render one-year compulsory service.
