Plea on PG medical quota for in-service candidates
TIMES NEWS NETWORK 20.03.2018
Chennai: Doctors in state government service have approached Madras high court for a direction to the Centre’s director-general of health services (DGHC) to comply with Post Graduate Medical Education Regulations, in admissions to PG medical courses and award due weightage marks for service rendered in remote/difficult areas. They also wanted reservation of 50% of seats for such service candidates under all India quota.
Justice R Mahadevan directed the government advocate to get instructions from the authorities concerned and adjourned the hearing to March 22. In his petition C Sudhan and six others said they were in-service candidates working as assistant surgeons in Tamil Nadu Medical Services. They appeared for NEET PG 2018 and secured more than 50% marks and thereby they were declared as eligible for admission to PG medical courses.
“The places we serve are notified as remote/difficult areas as by the state government and thereby we are entitled for additional weightage marks as per Regulation 9 (IV) of PG Regulations 2000 under all India quota seats. But authorities are proceeding to conduct counselling for admissions to PG courses without awarding such weightage marks for service candidates,” the petitioners said.
