Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy approved the decision after Health Minister Damodar Rajanarasimha highlighted the issue. For years, Telangana medicos have demanded more local representation in private PG seats.

The Health Department announced that 85% of MQ–1 seats will now be reserved for Telangana students, while 15% remain open for All India candidates. This change affects about 318 PG medical and 70 PG dental seats each year. Earlier, most of these seats were taken by non-local candidates.
