Indore: Increasing under graduate seats to 250 seems like a distant dream for MGM Medical College. After college administration applied for increasing UG seats from 140 to 250 for academic session 2019-20, Medical Council of India (MCI) has directed college to first get permission for 150 seats.
The college had applied to MCI for increasing their UG seats to 150 from 140 for which MCI had conducted inspection in college four times. Every time the council got some loopholes in the standards and documentation and rejected the application.
According to college officials, in last five years, college have spent around Rs 15 lakh as application fee for inspection is Rs 3 lakh. The college applied for increase in UG seats in 2014.
Physiology department professor Dr Manohar Bhandari said, “The MCI had earlier rejected permission due to small library in college. We have footfall of 300 students a month and 100 students a day. MCI has directed us to construct a bigger library for which construction is going on behind college building.”
Three months ago, college had applied to increase UG seats to 250 from upcoming academic session. However, MCI have directed that first it will conduct inspection for 150 seats. Once college gets permission for 150 seats, the college will have to apply for 250.
MGM dean Dr Jyoti Bindal said, “We had applied for more seats. However, MCI will first give permission for 150 seats and later for 250. We are following MCI directions. It will conduct inspection for 150 seats for the sixth time next week.”
