HYDERABAD: Telangana government on Wednesday released a government order making it compulsory for candidates seeking admission in super speciality medical courses to sign a bond for Rs 50 lakh saying they should serve for two years in Telangana."The candidates who are taking admissions in the super speciality courses from the academic year 2017-18, that in case of failure to serve the government for a period of two years, after the completion of course, he/she shall pay Rs 50 lakh to government. The same shall be applicable to NIMS University also," read the GO.In the neighbouring Andhra Pradesh also, government has issued directive asking students of super speciality course in government medical colleges to execute a bond of Rs 50 lakh with an undertaking that they would serve the government for a period of three years after completion of course.Until now, the bond period in Telangana is just one year, and that too, if a student wants to get registered in the state, if not there was no bond period in the place. Whereas, in other states like Tamil Nadu the bond period is 10 years or Rs 2 crore.On August 24, when the high court gave the judgement on Article 371-D, students said their seats would not be protected and that would leave state with no specialists in near future."In Telangana, the bond period is just one year. This would encourage candidates from other states to come here and study as they can leave after completion of course immediately. On the other, Telugu students can't come back to their own state as they will have a bond leaving a huge void of specialities in the state," said Bhavya B, who would get a seat in Osmania or Gandhi Hospitals if the HC has not asked state to not follow 371-D.The officials from Health ministry also said the bond system should be challenged and made sure bond period is same across the country so that candidates from one state will not have advantage over others.
