Telangana HC halts 85 pc local quota of PG Medical Seats

The Telangana High Court on Friday, November 21 halted the state government’s mandate of 85 percent local quota for management seats in postgraduate medical courses.

A bench comprising Telangana chief justice Apresh Singh and GM Mohiuddin put the mandate on hold after hearing a writ petition filed by non-local students seeking admission



to PG courses under the management category in private, unaided, minority and non-minority colleges.

They argued that until this year, management quota seats were open without any reservation, and the sudden introduction of an 85:15 local-to-all India division after the admission process had already begun was illegal and fundamentally unfair.
