National Conference, Apni Party back students demands
Medical students and the regional parties in Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday opposed any move by the Union Territory (UT) to pool MBBS and post-graduate seats in the all India quota from the current session.
Medical students from the Government Medical College (GMC), Srinagar, Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Srinagar, and Government Medical College, Rajouri, held demonstrations against the likely move.
“It will ruin the career of the local aspirants and open a floodgate for outsiders to get admission here. The J&K administration should continue with the existing mechanism, where only locals are eligible for the medical seats,” a protesting MBBS student said in Srinagar.
