As a result of the long meetings and deliberations, following points have been highlighted by the minister.

The stipend of resident doctors will increase approximately by almost 50%. Earlier the stipend stood at Rs 30,000 ,Rs 31,000 and Rs 32000 for 1st year, 2nd year and 3rd year PG students. This has been revised to Rs 45000 for 1st year students, Rs 47,000 for second year students and Rs 49000 for 3rd year students.

The stipend for interns has been increased from Rs 6000 to Rs 9000

The deans of respective colleges shall be given directions to make hostel provisions. Rs 42 Lacs is reported to be assigned for the same.

Post MBBS compulsory rural service still stands. However, the government has agreed to include this as a part of the 3 year rural service that doctors have to do to become eligible to be counted under the assistant quota for PrePG. This quota currently stands at 28% of total seats in the state.

No changes in the bond has been made.
