Reserved Students’ MBBS Open-Category Seats Allegedly Denied Admission

A group representing doctors from the YSRCP says some reserved-category students were treated unfairly during MBBS admissions.

They say these students had ranks good enough for Open Category seats.

In the AU region, the Open Category cut-off rank was 71,547.

The group says 43 better-ranked reserved-category students were given reserved seats instead.

In the SVU region, the cut-off was 94,966.

It says 27 higher-ranked reserved students were not considered for Open Category seats there.

The group wants the admissions process corrected.

It also says reservation should help representation without blocking students who qualify through merit.
