Telangana Government: Promises EWS quota for Medical Admission

Hyderabad: Advocate General of Telangana, A Sudershan Reddy submitted before the Telangana High Court that the Telangana government has extended the 10% reservation for Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) in MBBS and postgraduate (PG) medical admissions for 2024-25. This was revealed in a counter affidavit submitted to a bench of Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice J Sreenivas Rao. The court duly recorded this in its order.

The extension of the EWS quota comes in response to a writ petition filed by Kamareddy MLA K Venkata Ramana Reddy challenging the state government’s alleged inaction in implementing the 10% EWS quota in medical admissions for the 2024-25 academic session. Despite submitting a representation to the authorities concerned on August 28, 2024, no response was received, the MLA said in his petition. The petitioner referred to a letter sent by the Vice Chancellor of Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences, Warangal, to the principal secretary of the Medical, Health and Family Welfare department.
