NEET Candidates tensed as Centre acts against 150 Medical Colleges

By: Sakshi Awasthi on Apr 22, 2023

The candidates who appeared for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test on May 6, 2018, are tensed as the affiliation renewal application of the 82 Medical Colleges has been rejected by the Medical Council of India (MCI). The Health and Family Welfare Ministry has also declined the proposal to authorize 68 new Medical Colleges.

The Medical Council of India rejected the applications of these colleges last months which is now being approved by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. The action will reduce almost 15,000 medical seats in India. Out of which, 10,000 seats are in existing colleges.

The owners of the existing medical colleges believe that it could be difficult for the existing students also who are studying in the first and second year of medical courses. An investment of nearly Rs. 20 Thousand Crores are on the stake. The management of the private medical colleges has accused the Medical Council of India of being responsible for the action. Some of the owners have also moved to the court seeking justice against the action taken by the MCI. In response to the petition, the MCI has filed an SLP.

The number of Medical Seats in India:

List	Number of Seats
Total Number of Medical Seats in India	63,800
Number of Private College Seats	38,715
Number of Government College Seats	25,085
Number of Seats affected due to action	10,000

The number of Medical Colleges in India:

List	Number of Colleges
Total number of Medical Colleges	460 Colleges
Number of State-Run Colleges	160 Colleges
Number of Private Colleges	188 Colleges
Number of Colleges affected due to action	150 Colleges

This is the first time that the Medical Council of India has rejected the affiliation application at such a large scale. Due to which many private colleges are doubting some hidden agenda behind the action.
