MCI Board of Governors boost to MBBS seat permissions at Medical colleges: Now Permissions with lesser intakes
Advertisement
New Delhi: Medical Colleges across the country, are now going to breathe a sigh of relief as Medical Council of India Board of Governors (MCI BOG) have gone ahead with the proposal to grant permission to medical colleges to begin courses with lesser capacity than they had applied for, in case there is a shortage in requisite infrastructure.
A confirmation to this effect was recently made via a Gazette notification by the council, whereby the MCI BOG amended the "Establishment of Medical College Regulations, 1999" to bring in the policy move.
Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported about the Yes or No nature of the decision making process when it came to the approval of medical colleges in India. Medical colleges have to conform to a very rigid layout of infrastructure and manpower requirements both to start a course and then to increase the number of seats in that course. Failure to have the requisite infrastructure indeed proves to have devastating effects when the council after its various set of inspections decides not to grant permission to the medical college in case of infrastructure shortfalls.
