Telangana HC: OCI Cardholder Can Join NRI Quota
The Telangana High Court made a decision regarding NEET-PG counselling.
The court allowed an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) cardholder, Sushanth Reddy, to register for the Non-Resident Indian (NRI) quota.

Sushanth Reddy had issues with his application being rejected as proof.
This interim order will help candidates who are in a similar situation while the new rules are being finalized.
