NEET-qualified students from five districts in Telangana—Khammam, Mahabubnagar, Nalgonda, Warangal, and Hyderabad—face greatly reduced chances of securing MBBS/BDS seats in government medical colleges. According to GO-33, these students, despite being born in Telangana, will now be classified as non-locals.
At least a dozen protests have already taken place near education department offices and the TGPSC demanding the government to act on the issues prevailing in the education sector.
The Student Union leaders and members from NSUI, SFI, AISF, PDSU, PYL and TJS, led by NSUI district president, Abhijit Yadav, demanded immediate cancellation of NEET-2024 examinations and conducting the medical entrance exam at the earliest.
