Members of Telangana Public Health Doctors Association (TPHDA) have demanded that the in-service quota provisions, which were effective up to 2017, to be restored and the recently-issued GO no.155 to be struck down.
They said GO no.27 issued in April 2017 stated that 30% of seats in clinical broad specialities and 50% of seats in pre and para clinical specialities in degree and diploma courses are reserved for in-service candidates. This was applicable in both government and private medical colleges.
“However, GO 155, issued a few days ago, states that 20% seats in postgraduate clinical broad specialities and 30% seats in postgraduate pre and para clinical broad specialities for degree and diploma courses are reserved for in-service candidates in government medical colleges,” the members said at a press conference held at Somajiguda Press Club on Saturday.
