Four private institutions have sought permission from the state health department to start medical colleges in Tamil Nadu from 2020, even as the directorate of medical education is working towards increasing seats in government colleges in Coimbatore and Kanyakumari.
Among the private colleges, the directorate of medical education has completed inspection of Panimalar Medical College in Nazarethpet, Priyadarshini Medical College in Tiruvallur, Barath Medical College in Chennai and St Peters Medical College in Krishnagiri, and has submitted reports to the state health department.
While deficiencies have been pointed out in Barath Medical College, decks have been cleared for the others. If all these colleges get the state’s nod, they will have to apply to the Medical Council of India (MCI) for letter of permission to admit students in 2020. “They will add at least 600 seats to the state pool,” said director of medical education Dr A Edwin Joe.
In addition, the state is planning to increase seats to 100 in Coimbatore Medical College and 50 in the college in Kanyakumari, which will take the total number of seats in the state to 3,400. This will also take the total number of seats in Coimbatore to 250 and Kanyakumari to 150. “The state has a policy to have at least one medical college in each district. Besides, we are increasing the number of seats in each of the districts,” he said.
Now, four colleges – Madras Medical College, Stanley Medical College Hospital, Madurai Medical College and Tirunelveli Medical College – have 250 seats each, the maximum permitted by the MCI. “We are increasing the seats in colleges with 100 seats to
150. In the next phase we will increase these to 250,” he said.
