Goa Govt seeks roster for PG medical seats reservation at Goa Medical College

Goa: The Goa government has ordered the Goa Medical College and Hospital (GMC) to submit a detailed procedure it follows for implementing the 100-point roster for allocation and reservation of postgraduate seats for candidates belonging to the Scheduled Tribe (ST), the Scheduled Caste (SC), the Other Backwards Class (OBC) and the Economically Weaker Section (EWS).
The directive comes after the expansion of PG seats in GMC, which was approved from the academic year 2024-25, increasing the number of seats from 31 to 50, i.e. an increase of 19 seats. Meanwhile, the government's move aims to ensure the transparent and equitable implementation of the reservation policy in postgraduate medical education across the state.
On this, in a letter to the GMC Dean, Sitaram Sawal, Under Secretary of Public Health, also sought a draft amendment to the “Goa Rules for Admission to Postgraduate Degree and Diploma Courses of Goa University at GMC, 2024”, in line with the decision of the Chief Minister.
According to the Dajiworld media news report, Sawal wrote, “I request you to furnish the procedure for implementation of the 100-point roster as regards allotment and reservation of PG seats for SC/ST/OBC and EWS in GMC”.
The increase spans five key specialities-
1 MS in Obstetrics & Gynaecology: 6 → 8 seats.
2 MD in Radiodiagnosis: 6 → 7 seats.
3 MD in Paediatrics: 7 → 10 seats.
4 MS in General Surgery: 6 → 15 seats.
5 MD in Pharmacology: 6 → 10 seats.
Furthermore, as per state policy, 41% of PG seats in GMC are reserved for backward classes: 12% for ST, 27% for OBC, and 2% for SC, besides 10% seats are reserved for the EWS category.
