Medical seats quota upsets open category students

The Centre’s announcement to set aside OBC and EWS quota in the all-India post-graduate medical seats has upset open category students in Maharashtra, who termed the decision as “politically fuelled”. Several students asked how the quota at the postgraduate level would be “legal” as all MBBS graduates would go on to earn a monthly stipend of Rs 60,000-75,000. Parents and activists said the government ought to think of alternatives, such as freeships or scholarships.
“Students from the general merit across India will suffer and those from the reserved category will benefit because of this decision,” said former head of the Directorate of Medical Education and Research Dr Praveen Shingare.
“In case of students from Maharashtra, they will suffer largely at the post-graduate level where many from the state take the post-graduate exam for admissions to colleges across India. The state ranks third or fourth in cornering the maximum all-India quota seats,” he said.
