Over 4000 Andhra MBBS Graduates who Studied in Telangana Become Ineligible for PG medical counselling
Hyderabad: Due to the recent changes in the residency rules, introduced by the Telangana Government, around 4,000 medical students from Andhra Pradesh who studied MBBS in Telangana face uncertainty regarding their future.
Issuing a new Government Order (GO) 148, the Telangana Government redefined local eligibility criteria for postgraduate (PG) medical admissions. As a result of these recently introduced changes, these non-local MBBS students have now become disqualified for PG medical counselling in the State.
Now, these students are neither recognised as locals in their home States, now in the State where they studied MBBS. Therefore, they are now effectively non-local in all States.
As per the latest media report by The Hindu, under GO 148, students who completed their schooling in other States, despite completing the MBBS degree in Telangana, are now considered to be ineligible for PG medical counselling within Telangana.
