27% OBC, 10% EWS reservation in medical seats from all-Indian quota

New Delhi: The day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked the Ministry of Health and Education to carry out the implementation of the OBC quota and EWS in medical and dental colleges, the government announced reservations which are expected to benefit nearly 5,550 students every year.
Medical and dental courses will now have 27% reservations for other and 10% classes for more economically weaker parts (which include ahead) under the quota of all India for undergraduate and postgraduate programs, the government said on Thursday.
Reservations will be implemented from the current academic year 2021-22.
This will benefit nearly 1,500 OBC students in the MBBS and 2,500 OBC students in post-graduation and around 550 EWS students in MBBS and 1,000 on post-graduation.
Decisions can be seen in the context of the initiative of “pro-OBC” such as inclusion of a large number of OBC in the recent reshuffle and steps to cancel the unprofitable command of the Supreme Court to appoint the country’s reverse list.
While the problem of reservations in all-Indian quota was waiting long, the prime minister, at the meeting held on Monday, directed the ministry concerned to facilitate effective solutions.
The introduction of OBC reservation will significantly increase the overall seat too.
Just as when OBC reservations were introduced in 2009, the number of non-reserve seats also increased proportionally so as to ensure that the percentage of general seats remained the same.
Therefore, higher education institutions that introduce OBC reservations increase their total intake of around 50%.
In similar exercises, to introduce EWS reservations, institutions must increase their total intake of 20%.
AIQ was introduced in 1986 under the Guidance of the Supreme Court to provide achievement-based opportunities to students from any country aspiring to study in good medical colleges in other countries.
The All-India quota consists of 15% of the total available UG seats and 50% of total PG seats available at government medical colleges.
In 2007, SC introduced a 15% reservation for scheduled caste and 7.5% for tribes scheduled in the AIQ scheme.
While the reservation was implemented in all central government institutions through the Central Education Institution (reservation entered) acting, it was not expanded to the AIQ seat in the Medical College and Dental Country.
To provide benefits to students included in the EWS category in revenue to higher education institutions, constitutional amendments are brought in 2019, which allows the provision of 10% reservations to “advanced”.
The latest decision will also expand the benefits for students from EWS in the AIQ scheme.
