Overview
- The policy would reserve about 318 postgraduate medical seats and 70 dental seats in the management quota for Telangana residents.
- The announcement was made by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy after a request from Health Minister Damodar Rajanarsimha.
- Officials said management-quota seats had previously been filled under the All India Quota, allowing many out-of-state candidates to secure places.
- Rajanarsimha said the change will benefit thousands of local MBBS graduates given the scarcity of PG seats and intense competition.
- The government expects the measure to increase the number of specialist doctors and improve healthcare services across the state.
