DMK Rajya Sabha MP P Wilson on Monday urged Union minister for health and family welfare Harsh Vardhan to recall the provisional result list of PG medical Neet 2020, released for intake under the 50% all India quota seats, as the reservation for other backward classes (OBC) was not followed.

In a letter to the minister, he said, "The provisional seat allotment list released by National Board of Examinations on April 9 has not followed Tamil Nadu Reservation Act, 1994, for seats surrendered by the state. About 400 seats earmarked for OBC candidates have been distributed to other categories deliberately."

In the provisional results, 13,237 candidates shortlisted for admission to MS, MD and PG diploma courses. The final seat allotment is scheduled to be released on May 11.

Wilson further urged the minister to direct authorities at Medical Council of India, Director General of Health Services, Central Medical Counselling Committee and NBE to rework the provisional list by applying state reservation of 69% in seats surrendered under the all India quota and publish a fresh and final list.

He also urged the minister to initiate departmental action against officials who have deliberately discriminated against OBC students and failed to implement the reservation.
