The Rajasthan High Court has held that candidates from other States belonging to reserved categories cannot claim reservation benefits, including reduced qualifying percentile in NEET PG counselling, in Rajasthan, affirming that such benefits are State-specific.
Dismissing a writ petition filed by the Federation of Private Medical and Dental Colleges of Rajasthan challenging a February 18, 2026, resolution of the NEET-PG counselling board, the Court held that the policy does not amount to 100% domicile-based reservation, as out-of-state candidates remain eligible to compete for unreserved seats but cannot claim relaxed cut-offs meant for reserved categories.
