Around 2,500 seats for MBBS Courses

With the rising demand for medical education, it has been revealed that around 2,500 seats for Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) courses are expected to be added to medical institutes across the country.

The new addition comes approved by an empowered committee under the health department. The committee has also reportedly approved setting up new colleges at various hospitals, as per information from the Health Ministry. The additional seats will come up at both new as well as existing government colleges.

As per news reports, the recent decision to raise the number of MBBS seats will be a boon to the scores of medical education aspirants across the country. The total number of undergraduate (UG) medical seats fell by 1,170 during 2014-15, after the Medical Council of India (MCI) turned down the proposal of around 3,920 seats (2,750 seats approved). The MCI decision did not find favor among many.  

According to reports, the committee has given the green signal for 100 new seats, each for G B Pant Hospital based in Port Blair as well as district hospitals at Almora, Churu, Datia, Dungarpur, Khandwa and Kohima. Moreover, it has approved proposals to raise the number of seats at existing medical colleges located in Amritsar and Patiala in Punjab as well as Coimbatore, Kanyakumari, Madurai and Tirunelveli in Tamil Nadu.
