Hyderabad: The Telangana Government has decided to grant reservations in MBBS seats at Ramagundam Medical College specifically for the children of Singareni employees. The initiative aims to provide enhanced educational opportunities to deserving candidates from Singareni families.
Health Minister T. Harish Rao expressed his resolute support for this decision, emphasizing the importance of equal opportunities for quality education. He stated, “We wholeheartedly recognize the vital role played by Singareni employees in the development of our state, and it is essential to provide their children with equal opportunities to pursue high-quality medical education. By extending reservation in MBBS seats, we are ensuring that deserving candidates from Singareni families have access to the medical education they aspire to achieve.”
Among the total of 150 available MBBS seats at Ramagundam Medical College, 23 seats are allocated under the All India Quota. Consequently, the remaining 127 seats will now have a 5% reservation, ensuring 7 seats exclusively for Singareni employees.
Admission to these reserved seats for Singareni employees’ children will be based on the merit achieved in the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET). Additionally, the existing reservation categories for Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and Backward Classes (BC) will be taken into consideration during the admission process for these seats, further enhancing inclusivity.This decision is the result of a thorough review of appeals received from Singareni employees by Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao. “This remarkable initiative exemplifies the government’s unwavering commitment to fostering inclusive growth and creating equitable opportunities for all segments of society. It demonstrates the Telangana government’s dedication to nurturing the talent and potential of its citizens, thereby furthering the progress and development of the state,” Harish Rao said. (INN)
