25% PG medical seats remain vacant

About 25% of seats remained vacant in post-graduate medical and dental courses at the end of counselling on Wednesday. However, all postgraduate seats in government medical and dental colleges were filled but there were vacancies even in government quota seats in self-financing colleges.
All the 1,066 seats in government medical colleges and 25 seats in the government dental college were filled, officials said.
The most number of vacancies were in deemed universities. Self-financing medical colleges had 73 seats of which only 54 (74%) were filled; deemed universities could not fill as many as 137 of their 598 seats. Under the government quota in self-financing colleges, of the 172 seats, 14 remained vacant. All these seats were in non-clinical subjects.
A similar situation was noticed in the dental colleges too. Of the 384 seats in self-financing colleges and deemed universities, 99 went vacant (74%) and of the 110 seats in private dental colleges under government quota, five seats were not filled.
