The order from the State government will now allow KNRUHS to conduct fresh rounds of counselling (if needed) to fill-up all competent authority quota seats with local students, who might have missed out in earlier rounds of counselling, in Post-Graduate and UG courses of different medical streams including AYUSH (Indian medicine), B.Sc Nursing, P B B.Sc (Nursing), Allied Health Sciences, PG Paramedical courses and similar other courses available for diploma students.
The State government’s decision will go a long way in strengthening allied health care services in hospitals. Two years ago, the State government had issued orders allocating all competent authority quota seats to local candidates in MBBS/BDS and PG courses in medical and dental colleges, which have been established after statehood.
Recently, the Telangana government also received a green signal from the High Court over providing first preference to local students in Telangana while allocating MBBS/BDS and PG medical seats. Following the Court’s, the State government released a similar order for non-allopathy medical courses like AYUSH, MD in Homeo, nursing etc.
