PG Quota May Be Reduced for Govt Docs
The New Indian Express Anantapur
|July 24, 2025
The Health Department is likely to reduce the number of postgraduate (PG) medical seats reserved for government doctors in the 2025-26 academic year, based on a new assessment of specialist requirements in government hospitals by 2028-29.
According to sources, only 103 specialists will be needed, down sharply from the 378 PG seats reserved for in-service government doctors in 2024-25.
The latest assessment revealed that just 23 posts would be required in three clinical departments: radiology, emergency medicine, and paediatrics, while 80 posts were projected across six non-clinical departments. Accordingly, the in-service reservation for MBBS-qualified doctors working in primary health centres (PHCs) is expected to be revised in line with these projections.
