Govt. doctors’ body hails SC order on super speciality seats
The Tamil Nadu Government Doctors Association has welcomed a Supreme Court order regarding the allocation of super speciality medical seats. The ruling involves the surrender of unfilled seats to the All India Quota, with provisions for reversion to the state under specific conditions.
Why it matters
Medical seat allocation is a highly sensitive issue involving state-level policy, professional rights, and judicial oversight in India.
Welcoming the Supreme Court verdict on the medical courses’ super speciality seats, the Tamil Nadu Government Doctors Association (TNGDA) on Thursday hoped, if the qualifying percentile is reduced following the second round of All India Quota (AIQ) counselling, around 75 to 100 seats could be available again for government doctors in Tamil Nadu.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the association thanked the Chief Minister “for securing the order.” Representatives of the association also met Health Minister K.G. Arunraj.
The Minister, in a post on X, said the association described the SC verdict as a significant and victorious judgement. TNGDA’s president A. Srinivasan and general secretary T. Kanagarajan along with other office bearers were present.
