Seats Slash For MBBS Course

The prospect of a slash in MBBS seats at VSS Medical College and Hospital by the Union health ministry has become imminent following the submission of an adverse compliance verification report by the Medical Council of India (MCI). MCI teams had submitted compliance verification reports after inspecting the medical college in Burla, SCB Medical College in Cuttack and MKCG Medical College in Berhampur in May-June. The reports had given clearance for 150 seats each in SCB Medical College and MKCG Medical College but recommended to the ministry for reduction of 43 seats in VSS Medical College as it failed to meet the requirements laid down by the MCI. “The MCI had noted persisting vacancies in teaching faculty with 14 posts of professors and three posts of associate professors lying vacant and inadequacies in infrastructure like shortage of beds in the casualty and other such lacunae,” a senior health department official said.The ministry had allowed the three state-run medical colleges to raise their respective intake from 107 to 150 for MBBS course.
