Tamil Nadu Welcomes Supreme Court Order on Super-Speciality Medical Seats
Tamil Nadu's Health Minister K.G. Arunraj stated the state government has addressed previous lapses by securing a Supreme Court order allowing 50 vacant super-speciality seats to revert to Tamil Nadu if qualifying cut-offs are lowered after AIQ counselling. The Tamil Nadu Government Doctors Association welcomed the verdict, thanking the Chief Minister and cautioning against demands to allocate all 151 unfilled seats to service doctors, citing Supreme Court rulings against caste or religion-based reservations. The state had previously surrendered seats without opposition in 2024 and 2025.
