Tamil Nadu Health Minister Welcomes Supreme Court Order on Super-Speciality Seats
Tamil Nadu Health Minister K.G. Arunraj described the Supreme Court's interim order on unfilled super-speciality medical seats as a victory for the state. The court ruled that the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) cannot lower the cutoff percentile during All India Quota counselling, and if lowered later, half of the seats must revert to Tamil Nadu. Arunraj criticized the previous DMK government for surrendering numerous seats without conditions in 2024 and 2025, contrasting it with the current government's firm stance against surrendering seats prematurely.
