Medical Dialogues had reported back in 2018 that the UT administration committee headed by Dr. BS Chavan, Director-Principal of GMCH-32 had issued guidelines for MBBS admission in the State quota seats at the medical college.
In the guidelines, it was specified that MBBS candidates who have passed Class X, XI and XII from schools/colleges recognized by the Administration and situated in the UT, as a regular student, would be eligible for MBBS admission.
