Hyderabad sources have told good news for medical aspirants, the number of MBBS seats in private medical colleges has been increased by 450 from this academic year. The decision to increase seats from the existing 1,900 seats to 2,350 in private medical colleges for the 2016-2017 sessions was taken by the Supreme Court-Mandated Oversight Committee on Medical Council of India (SCMOCMCI) which granted permission to three new colleges to start operation.
The medical aspirants trying their luck in Eamcet-III (for convenor quota ) and Neet-II (for management quota) may stand a better chance of getting through with more MBBS seats being offered by RVM Medical college, Mulu gu mandal (Medak); Mahavir Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranga Reddy; and Maheshwara Medical College, Patancheru.
Meanwhile the Supreme Court has appointed oversight committee's decision giving a second chance to the three colleges has however received flak, with experts feeling the move is likely to have a detrimental impact on medicos.
In the case of Maheshwara Medical College, Patancheru, and Mahavir Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranga Reddy , the MCI inspection reports in December 2015 and January 2016 respectively listed out 17 deficiencies in each of the colleges before permission was denied to start operations in 2016-17.
