Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that in response to the Lok Sabha question regarding the shortage of medical seats in the country, MoS Health Smt Anupriya Patel informed, "As reported by the National Medical Commission (NMC), the number of Medical Colleges has increased by 111.36 % from 387 in 2013-14 to 818 at present. Further, it has been informed that MBBS seats have increased by 151.18%, from 51,348 before 2013–14 to 1,28,976 at present, thereby contributing to improved accessibility to medical education."
Along with this, the parliament member sought details from the Minister regarding the possibility of a huge shortage in the total number of seats available as compared to the number of candidates appearing in the NEET-UG examination in the country during the current year, whether the students securing high marks are compelled to migrate abroad for medical studies for this reason and whether the Government proposes to take any action to address such migration of students for medical education abroad.
