NMC Nod to Bidar Institute of Medical Sciences for 4 New PG medical Courses with 5 seats each

The NMC's nod came after a thorough virtual inspection of the prearrangements made by BRIMS, ensuring that the institute met all necessary criteria for the launch of these advanced medical programs. This approval is a culmination of persistent efforts and a long-standing demand to enhance the academic offerings at BRIMS.

The introduction of these PG courses at BRIMS is expected to be a boon for students in the Bidar region, providing them with advanced educational opportunities closer to home. “Each PG course will have five seats and the admission process for these courses will start from August. After starting PG courses in BRIMS, more health services will be available at the hospital in the coming days,” BRIMS director Shivakumar Shetkar told Times of India.

The programs in Orthopaedics, Ophthalmology, Gynaecology, and Microbiology will help equip medical professionals with the expertise required to meet the diverse healthcare challenges in the area.

Previously Medical Dialogues reported that new medical colleges might come up in Karnataka during the upcoming academic year as approval had been sought from the National Medical Commission (NMC) for starting two private and government medical colleges in the State.

These two medical colleges are likely to come up in Karnataka in addition to the existing colleges seeking an increase in the intake of undergraduate (UG) medical seats. According to the data from the Directorate of Medical Education (DME), permission has been sought to start two new government medical colleges in the upcoming year. These colleges are proposed to come up in Ramanagara and Kanakpura.
