The increase in PG seats is expected to provide more opportunities for MBBS graduates to pursue specialist training while strengthening the availability of doctors in different departments. More postgraduate doctors at the college and its attached hospitals could also support patient care, clinical services and surgical facilities.

The additional seats will contribute to academic activities, clinical training and medical research at the institution. The increased medical workforce, particularly in surgery and other specialist departments, could also help reduce waiting time for operations and dependence on other hospitals and more PG students will encourage academic activities and the use of modern treatment methods.

Commenting on the development, MGM Medical College Dean Dr Arvind Ghanghoria described the approval as a historic achievement reflecting the institution's academic progress and continuous efforts.

He told Free Press Journal that the real strength of a medical college lies not just in its buildings and facilities but in the skilled doctors it trains. He added that the college aims to provide quality medical education while improving healthcare services for the public.
