The Union government has accepted a long-pending demand to provide 27% reservation for Other Backward Classes (OBC) candidates and 10% reservation for economically weaker sections (EWC) from the all India quota for undergraduate and postgraduate medical and dental courses. The decision was announced on Thursday and will be implemented from the current academic year.
This decision is expected to benefit every year nearly 1500 OBC students in MBBS and 2500 OBC students in postgraduation and also around 550 EWS students in MBBS and around 1000 EWS students in postgraduation.
The reservation will be offered under the All India Quota (AIQ). Under the AIQ, 15% reservation is offered to SC and 7.5% to ST category students already. The new quota will be in addition to the existing norms.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted about the decision, “Our Government has taken a landmark decision for providing 27% reservation for OBCs and 10% reservation for Economically Weaker Section in the All India Quota Scheme for undergraduate and postgraduate medical/dental courses from the current academic year.”
In a separate tweet, he said, “This will immensely help thousands of our youth every year get better opportunities and create a new paradigm of social justice in our country.”
