Pallakad: 150 MBBS Students from Kerala Medical College Palakkad are to be shifted to other Private medical Colleges by the State Government as the college authorities have failed to gain the nod of Medical Council of India (MCI) to continue the MBBS Course.
Confirmation to this effect was given by the Additional Chief Secretary (Health) Rajeev Sadananda who informed the Times of India , "We are trying to relocate the students of Kerala Medical College. We held a discussion with private medical colleges and there are enough colleges to take the students. Now, we will write to MCI to enhance the seat at these colleges and once MCI agrees, the students will be allocated to new colleges."
Many private medical colleges in various parts of the country are now facing the fate of closure, while not having the requisite infrastructure as well as funds that are required to take up the teaching of medical students. Only recently, the state government had completed the takeover of Pariyaram Medical College
