Despite scoring well in NEET UG, students are not able to get admission in medical colleges of their state. This is the case of Telangana, where after the recent change in the recognition of local students, many students have been excluded from the admission criteria in the state’s medical colleges. Most of these are students who have done their schooling from Telangana’s neighboring states Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra.
Actually, recently the local criteria (Go 33 policy) has been changed for MBBS admission in Telangana. According to the rules, only those students who have studied from class 9 to 12 from Telangana can study MBBS from the state’s medical college. Earlier, the recognition of local students was only for four years of study from class 6 to 12 i.e. 7 years of study. After the change in the rules, the students feel that they have been cheated.
According to a Times of India report, some parents have written a letter to Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy demanding a review of this rule. The letter reads, ‘Our children have worked hard and scored good marks and they are not eligible just because of the changed criteria. Many students have done graduation from Andhra Pradesh so that they can prepare for NEET but now their future is at stake. This is when we are working here and our ancestors have been residents here. This criterion should be changed.’
