The following guidelines are practiced for awarding incentive marks to Service PG candidates for this academic year 2024-2025 and 50% reservation of PG seats as per the Hon’ble Supreme Court Judgment inW.P.No.196/2018 TNMOA Vs. UOI.

 Incentive Marks will be awarded for completed years as on 31.03.2024.

 Incentive Marks will be awarded for every completed years. In completed years, fractionalization of marks based on the number of months worked in particular stations [i.e., Difficult Hill (10%)/Difficult Plain(9%)/ Remote(8%)/ Rural(5%)].

 Incentive Marks will not be awarded for fractioned service month periods.

 Maximum of 30% of Incentive marks will be awarded as per MCI Regulations – 2000 amended till May 2018 and added to eligible PG NEET 2023 Score (Kindly note eligibility is determined prior to adding incentive marks) 

Illustration - I:

 When a Medical Officer has worked in 2 years 8 months 23 days in Difficult Hill area, Incentive Marks will be awarded for 2 years only.

Illustration- II:

 If a medical officer works in different areas for different periods (Incentive marks allotted areas) with completed year and fractionalized months, the following methodology is applied for calculating incentive marks:

“X” works in difficult hill area for 5 months, 20 days, in his next postings he works in difficult plain for a period of 1 year, 5months, 5 days and in another postings he works for 7 months, 3 days respectively as on 31.03.2022.  

Total incentive years = 1 completed year in difficult plain plus 17 months (5 months in Difficult Hill+ 5 months in Difficult plain+ 7 months in Rural). 12 months = 1 year. Rest of the 5 months(Least incentive mark area) will be left, since fractionalized months will not be accounted for calculating marks.

In 38 days, 30 days is added to 4 months, since the Medical Officer worked more number of days in rural area i.e. 20 days.
