At the super speciality level, merit and not reservation should be the criterion’

Twenty-eight students hailing from other parts of the country will attend super-specialty medical courses in Tamil Nadu after the Supreme Court ordered the State to forgo its policy of reserving seats for domiciled students in these advanced medical studies.
A Bench of Justices Dipak Misra and C. Nagappan on Thursday ordered the State government to admit 28 candidates from other States who were successful in cracking the exams held for super specialty courses for the academic session 2016-2017. This year, out of a total 191 seats, 124 candidates had applied from outside Tamil Nadu. Of this, 94 took the exam and 28 were selected.
On July 1, the Bench said medical education should not be cloistered from talents outside the State and Tamil Nadu should unreservedly open its doors to the best of doctors across the country.
The Centre, represented by Additional Solicitor General Pinky Anand, seconded the court’s conclusion, submitting that advanced medical education should be “free from the requirement of domicile and institutional preferences”.
“At the super-speciality level of medical education, merit and not reservation should be the criterion. Reservation de-meritorises merit. Please keep the constitutional scheme under Article 14 (right of equality) in mind,” Justice Misra addressed senior advocate Rakesh Dwivedi, appearing for Tamil Nadu.
Mr. Dwivedi countered in his submissions that when a State interest is involved in a reservation policy, some accommodation has to be made.
“It is not possible to wall off the State’s interest like this. There should be a balance of State and national interests. Why should we not give primacy to a person who has studied in the State, is aware of the health interests of the State primacy? Persons from other States will come to our State, use our infrastructure which we built with money from our State coffers and then leave, returning nothing to the State… The Constitution does not have anything against institutional preferences,” Mr. Dwivedi submitted.
Upholding State’s interests
The senior advocate said the domicile policy could not be called ‘reservation’. “This is only a scheme for the students of the State to uphold the State’s interests and contribute to its public health care,” Mr. Dwivedi argued. “So are they so incompetent that they cannot compete with candidates from other States,” asked Justice Misra.
Mr. Dwivedi said Tamil Nadu’s students compete with people all over the country who stay there and study there in the State

      Nonsense, why should TN medico seats for super-speciality to be given to outsiders at the cost the state exchequer while we get nothing in return, then if that is a must as per SC then they must be asked to pay more than the local students. This is an unwarranted intrusion into a state's affairs and a dilution of the powers enshrined to a state in federal structure.

        Medical education should be only governed by merit and nothing else.

          Supreme court order is kind of robbery on states who perform well for capacity building; Where other slow progressing states won't setup medical colleges / PG courses but roam across other states resources (Pls don't brand me as anti-Indian); The supreme court order is fine , only if domicile students interests are protected; 50% of PG seats need to be available for state students & rest for open competition for other states.

            Why should Tamil Nadu build and create medical infrastructure for students from other States? What were their State Governments doing? Twiddling their thumbs! Why is the AIAIDMK government not fighting for the rights of Tamils? Tamils are rapidly getting replaced in Tamil Nadu. Time for Tamils to push back soon, otherwise our ethnicity will soon be subsumed. You lot have been warned!
