Hyderabad sources have stated that the Medical Council of India has cut down MD (pathology) course seats from the existing six to two at state run Kakatiya Medical College (KMC) for want of tutors, equipment and lab facilities. This comes a month after the MCI, withheld permission for MBBS seats in state run Osmania Medical College (50 seats) and Government Medical College, Nizamabad, (100 seats) for 2017-18 batch over similar reasons.
