On January 29, 2025, the Supreme Court ruled that states cannot grant domicile-based reservations for PG medical seats and clarified that state quota seats must be allotted based on merit in the NEET examination. The bench declared, “Residence-based reservation in PG medical courses is violative of Article 14 of the Constitution.”

Additionally, the court asserted that there is no concept of state domicile, stating, “We are all domiciles in the territory of India. There is nothing like a provincial or state domicile.”

While striking down domicile-based reservations for future PG medical admissions, the Supreme Court clarified that students who have already secured seats under this policy will not be affected. The ruling followed a challenge by students against a Punjab and Haryana High Court order that deemed domicile-based reservations for PG medical courses unconstitutional.
