Members of the Medical Council of India (MCI), who were on an inspection of some of the private medical colleges in Karnataka, were surprised when they entered the wards of their teaching hospitals. Not only were the number of patients much lower than what the records showed, but many looked quite in the pink of health to be in-patients.
The executive committee of the MCI, during a recent meeting, recommended that three private colleges — in Tumakuru, Kolar Gold Fields, and Devanahalli in Bengaluru — be debarred from admitting students for two academic years (2017-2018 and 2018-2019) as they were not able to fulfil the requirements mandated to run a college, which includes patient intake. All these colleges had shortage of faculty.
In addition, one more college has been recommended for similar action for not having the necessary infrastructure and faculty.
