The merit list for PG medical counselling in Jabalpur has placed in‑service candidates under the open category, prompting the Madhya Pradesh government to demand an explanation.
The postgraduate medical counselling conducted in Jabalpur released its merit list, assigning several in‑service candidates to seats classified under the open category. This allocation deviates from the usual reservation norms that separate service and open categories, raising concerns among stakeholders.
The state government of Madhya Pradesh has formally sought clarification from the counselling authority, questioning the criteria and process that led to this placement. Officials emphasized the need for transparency to ensure that reservation policies are correctly applied.
The issue was first reported by Amar Ujala, highlighting that the unexpected categorisation could affect the eligibility of other candidates awaiting allocation. The counselling body has yet to issue a detailed response, and the matter remains under close observation.
If the current list is not revised, it could impact the admission timeline for numerous medical aspirants across the state, prompting calls for a swift resolution.
