The state governments plans to add 350 MBBS seats in its colleges
The state government's plans to add 350 MBBS seats in its
colleges for academic year 2011 suffered a setback with the Medical Council of India
not giving clearance for at least two city colleges.
The government wanted to increase the number of seats at the Madras Medical College
and the Stanley Medical College by 100 each and at the Kilpauk Medical College by
50. It was also looking forward to 100 more seats at a new college in Sivaganga.
Though the MCI cleared the decks for two private colleges in Tamil Nadu with 150
seats each, this may not mean much for students seeking admission through the single
window system as the institutions are not obliged to share seats with the state
government.
The state health department on 13th June received official confirmation on permission
for the Annapoorna Medical College and Hospital in Salem and the Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan
Medical College and Hospital in Perambalur.
