Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh: The High Court has maintained a stay on the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Postgraduate (NEET PG) counselling in Madhya Pradesh after the Directorate of Medical Education (DME) submitted its response concerning double advantage to in-service candidates. The ongoing counselling has been put on hold as a result of the High Court's interim stay.
The DME has filed a plea for a 30% reservation based on the Supreme Court's observation that in-service doctors, upon completing their postgraduate medical degrees, should enter into bonds for an amount determined by the respective states. The DME clarified that merely allocating a certain percentage of seats to in-service candidates does not prevent them from competing for open seats.
The state faces difficulties in ensuring the availability of qualified medical officers in rural, remote, and difficult areas where the incentive mechanism aims to strengthen the public healthcare delivery system by encouraging graduates to serve in underserved regions.
