*GMC Srinagar students protest over reduced open merit seats in NEET PG admissions*

Srinagar — Medical students from Government Medical College (GMC) Srinagar have raised serious concerns over the drastic reduction in Open Merit (OM) seats in postgraduate admissions under the NEET PG framework.

The students claim that recent policy changes, including the implementation of SO 176 (March 15, 2024) and SO 305 (May 21, 2024), have severely impacted merit-based admissions, leading to widespread discontent among aspiring doctors.

According to the students, the open merit quota, which previously accounted for 75% of PG seats under SRO 49 of 2018, has been reduced to approximately 27% after the application of new reservation rules and Rule 17 of the J&K Reservation Rules (2004-2005). Out of 293 total PG seats available in government medical colleges, only 78 seats were effectively available for pure Open Merit candidates this year.

“This has sent waves of despair among deserving students who worked hard to secure high ranks. How can a student with a rank of 90,000 get MD Radiology, while someone with rank 739 is denied a seat in the same branch?” questioned a student representative, as per news agency KNS.

The students also criticized Rule 17, describing it as "draconian and unique to J&K." Under this rule, reserved category candidates securing a seat in OM can upgrade to higher specialties, but the vacated OM seat is reallocated to the reserved category instead of being returned to the OM pool.

“This leads to a double advantage for reserved category candidates and further reduces the number of seats for OM candidates. No other state in India has such a policy,” another protesting student told KNS.

The students emphasized the importance of merit in specialty courses like MD/MS, arguing that these fields require high levels of competence to ensure quality healthcare. They highlighted that all MBBS students study under similar conditions, access the same resources, and are assessed equally, making merit-based selection a fair criterion.

Additionally, the students called for the implementation of a bond system for PG and DM courses in J&K, as practiced in other states. They believe this would encourage doctors to serve in underserved areas and address healthcare disparities in the region.

The protesting students have appealed to the J&K administration to restore the OM quota to a fair percentage, abolish Rule 17 to prevent double allocation of seats to reserved categories and implement a mandatory bond system for PG and DM graduates.

These steps, the students argue, will uphold meritocracy and ensure equitable access to medical education, ultimately benefiting the healthcare system. — (KNS)

Govt Appoints Sanjay Malhotra as 26th RBI Governor.

New Delhi, Dec 09: The government on Monday appointed Revenue Secretary Sanjay Malhotra as the 26th Governor of the Reserve Bank of India.

The Appointments Committee of the Cabinet cleared Malhotra’s name, who has been appointed as the RBI Governor for three years, starting Wednesday.

Malhotra, a 1990 Batch Rajasthan Cadre IAS Officer, will replace Shaktikanta Das, whose tenure ends on Tuesday (December 10, 2024).

Malhotra, who will be the 26th RBI Governor, is an engineering graduate in computer science from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, and has a Master’s in Public Policy from Princeton University, US.

In his career of over 33 years, he has worked in multifarious sectors, including power, finance and taxation, information technology, and mines, among others.

Presently, he is the Secretary (Revenue) in the Ministry of Finance.

In his previous assignment, he held the post of Secretary in the Department of Financial Services under the Ministry of Finance.

He has extensive experience in finance and taxation at the state as well as the central government levels. As a part of his present assignment, he plays an instrumental role in tax policy formulation in respect of direct and indirect taxes.

Das was appointed as the 25th Governor of the RBI on December 12, 2018, after the abrupt exit of Urjit Patel.

He was granted an extension after completing three-year terms in office. His extended tenure ends on Tuesday.

Soon after taking charge of the Mint Street office, he provided confidence to the market shaken by the sudden resignation of Patel amid a tussle between the RBI and the government over the issue of surplus transfer.
