Telangana NEET PG Counselling 2024: Domicile Rules Impact MBBS Graduates

Introduction 

More than 74 petitions have been filed in the Telangana High Court (HC) against the state's new local residency rule for post-graduation (PG) Medical courses. 

Petitioners have argued that the change in 2021 rules conflicts with a Supreme Court order in a case from 1984, which held residence-based reservations, other than institutional preference in professional postgraduate courses. A bench of the HC Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice J Sreenivas Rao is hearing these petitions. The bench has also challenged a recent amendment to Telangana’s Postgraduate Medical Courses Rules 2021.

According to a government order on 28 October, PG medical aspirants must have studied at least four consecutive schooling years in the state to be eligible for the state quota seats, even if they completed their MBBS in a Telangana Medical College. 

 

‘Nowhere to go’, say affected students 

All the adjacent states, including but not limited to the states of Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Orissa, and North Eastern states, consider students who have pursued MBBS in their state, irrespective of their schooling years, as local. Now when these states declare "doing MBBS" as the main criteria to define locality, students who have migrated to the state of Telangana automatically attain the status of non-local in their individual states, leaving us with nowhere to go and claim our locality for PG seats, all over the country," reads a letter submitted by the affected students to the registrar of KNR University of Health Sciences.
