Jammu: After almost 30 years, MBBS and BDS colleges will observe reserved quotas for those students who are victims of terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. The policy will be applied to the central pool MBBS/BDS Seats.
A notice released by the Jammu and Kashmir board of professional entrance examinations stated that those students who have lost both their parents or sole breadwinner of their household in a terror attack will be considered eligible for this quota.
