Telangana PG Medical Admissions: HC inquires State about In-service quota rules

Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court has asked the State Government if the doctors employed under Telangana Vaidya Vidhana Parishad (TVVP) and insurance medical services department were eligible for In-service reservation for getting admitted to PG medical courses.

While considering a plea posing the question, the HC division bench comprising of Justice Abhinand Kumar Shavili and Justice Namavarapu Rajeswara Rao has asked the Advocate General for appearing in Court on Wednesday and clarify the stand of the Government in respect to the GO Ms. No. 155.

The plea was filed by some doctors working under TVVP. They complained that the Kaloji Narayana Rao Medical and Health University barred them from availing the competent authority quota for PG medical admission even though they met all eligibility standards and cleared the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test Postgraduate (NEET-PG) Examination.

The petitioner doctors prayed to the Court for ruling that the act of Kaloji University and other authorities in labelling them as 'Not Eligible as Service Candidate' and barring them from exercising the online options for admission to 2022-2023 Convenor Quot- PG Medical Degree/Diploma seats under the service quota was unlawful.
