ESI employees' quota valid

The government has also issued an order to restore the quota for children of employees in ESI Medical Colleges.

The seats under the quota will be available from the second round of NEET central counselling, Union Labour Minister Santosh Gangwar and ESI officials informed NK Premachandran, the MP from Kollam.

Board member V Radhakrishnan said that the details of the quota will be published on the ESI website (www.esic.in).

With the favourable verdict of the Madras High Court Division Bench, all the technical issues related to the quota have been removed.

The ESI quota is not included in the first round of counselling starting today because the software needs to be updated.
