Medical Dialogues had reported that the Delhi High Court recently rejected the Letter of Disapproval issued by the National Medical Commission NMC, against a private medical college in Uttar Pradesh, which had sought for an increase in its MBBS and PG Medical seats. Such a relief was provided by the HC bench comprising of Justice Rekha Palli as it referred to the fact that several medical aspirants flee to foreign countries like Ukraine to pursue medical education on account of lack of adequate number of medical institutes providing quality medical education.

The case concerned this medical college in UP, run by Santosh Trust. UGC had earlier granted this institute the status of "Deemed to be University" and later MCI had permitted it for 50 MBBS and 3 MD Pediatrics seats. These seats were further increased and the institute was granted MCI nod for conducting PG courses in 18 disciplines.

Earlier, 72 UG seats had been added including 57 MBBS and 15 BDS seats to the already 4,124 MBBS, 1,909 BDS and 252 BSc Nursing seats available for the mop-up round of AIQ NEET counselling being conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee under the DGHS (MCC).
