GMCH Clarifies OBC Reservation Limited to Bona Fide Chandigarh Residents for Medical Admissions
The Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), Sector 32, informed the Punjab and Haryana High Court that OBC reservation for medical admissions in Chandigarh will be limited to bona fide residents of the Union Territory. Candidates who migrated from other states with OBC migration certificates will not be eligible for the reserved seats. This clarification followed a petition by a local OBC candidate seeking to restrict reservation benefits to residents only. The court disposed of the plea, with counseling for admissions starting August 20.
