*📰 SC Strikes Down Residence - Based Quota for PG Medical Seat (HIGHLIGHTS OF ORDER)* 👇👇👇 📍 _New Delhi, Jan 29, 2025: In a major ruling, the Supreme Court of India has declared residence-based reservations for PG medical admissions unconstitutional. 🚫🏥_ * *Case:* Dr. Tanvi Behl v. Shrey Goel & Others * *Issue:* Chandigarh reserved 64 PG medical seats for local residents & MBBS graduates from its only Govt. Medical College. * *Verdict:* Reservation based on residence is invalid ❌ * _But Institutional preference (MBBS from same college) is allowed to a reasonable extent ✅_ *⚖ Key Observations from SC Order:* 📌 *Only One Domicile: Resident of India:* No State- Based Domicile for PG admissions. 📌 *Merit matters:* Specialization demands the best talent, regional preference cannot override it. 📌 What stays? 👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️ Students already admitted under the now-invalid quota can continue their courses. (i.e. already admitted Students Unaffected) 🎯 Impact: 🔸 Chandigarh’s quota system partially scrapped: 32 seats now open to all via NEET merit! 🔸 This ruling may affect similar reservation policies in other states. _A Step Towards a National Merit-Based Medical Education System!_ #supremecourt #medicaladmissions #neet #educationnews
