Residence Quota CANCELLED for NEET PG admissions: The Supreme Court of India has ruled that all citizens are recognized as domiciles of the country, allowing the freedom to reside and work anywhere.

The Court also stated that while reservations in undergraduate medical admissions can be acceptable, they are not suitable at the postgraduate level, eliminating domicile-based reservations for future medical students but protecting current students.
