Harish Rao Demands 85% Local Quota in Telangana PG Management Seats

He argues that the absence of a local rule in management seats is costing Telangana students roughly 382 PG seats.

Overview

  • The BRS leader wrote an open letter to Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy urging immediate action on PG medical admissions.
  • He asked the government to cancel the current PG admission notification and issue a fresh order to protect Telangana candidates.
  • Rao cited 1,801 total PG seats in the state, with half under the All India Quota and about 450 classified as management seats without local reservation.
  • Pointing to Andhra Pradesh’s policy, he said an 85% local share in management seats would leave about 68 for non-locals and make 382 available to Telangana students.
  • He referenced earlier BRS-era rules reserving seats in new colleges, claimed they yielded roughly 1,820 additional seats for locals, and accused the present government of negligence.
