MCI joint secretary Rajendra Wabale in a notice addressed to the principal of Mahatma Gandhi medical college and research institute, a constituent college of Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth, a deemed university, asked him to comply with the notice issued by the council on July 24 last year and discharge 11 students (eight PG medical students and three diploma students).
He said the council will take necessary action if the college failed to comply with the order.

The council will take a final call on the future of six students (four PG medical students and two diploma students), who were given different specialities by the college against the ones allotted to them by the centralised admission committee, after receiving the opinion of the additional solicitor general of India.

The council, however, withdrew its order discharging four students (a PG student and three diploma students).
