CHENNAI: Yet another private medical college in Tamil Nadu was barred from admitting students to MBBS course for two years, robbing 150 medical seats including 50 percent under government quota  from this academic year.

Ponnaiyah Ramajayam Institute of Medical Sciences at Nallur on the East Coast Road is the fifth private medical college in the State to have its approval rescinded, resulting in the loss of 750 seats in all.

A letter, signed by an undersecretary in the Union Health Ministry, said the Ponnaiyah Ramajayam Institute of Medical Sciences, which was granted conditional approval to offer 150 MBBS seats last year, has been debarred from admitting students for 2017-18 and 2018-19 academic years.
