New Delhi: With no response from the Medical Council of India (MCI) on their issue of their PG Diploma seat conversion till now, various doctors who are currently pursuing their post graduate diploma from various medical colleges in the country have now approached the Supreme Court for relief .The matter is tentatively listed for the 8th of April,2019.
The doctors have demanded that in the light of the current de-notificaiton of the PG Diploma course and the corresponding conversion of these seats into degree courses, benefits of the policy move should be extended to the current batches, who are pursuing these courses as well.
Medical Dialogues had extensively reported about the move made by the government to scrap the 2- year PG Diploma courses from medical colleges across the country from the academic session 2019-20 and in return grant the medical colleges with an equal number of MD/MS seats. However, the decision being for the future batches leaves behind around 4500 doctors who are currently pursuing their PG diploma courses at various medical colleges across the country. Now with 548 seats re-notified, this pool will also rise.
