MCI warnings being ignored

50 MBBS seats each were increased at Government Medical Colleges (GMC) in Patiala and Amritsar but the state governments have failed to comply with the guidelines laid down by the Medical Council of India (MCI) to make this permanent.

Colleges can retain the increased seats by complying with the MCI guidelines. Despite repeated warnings by the MCI to fill the vacant faculty posts as one of the main conditions but the state has failed to do so. The apex medical governing body of the country had increased the student intake from 150 to 200 in each college in 2014.

MCI carries out annual inspections for the next five years after increasing the seats in any college,till the first batch with increased seats passes out, before making these permanent.

MCI has been pointing out faculty shortage in this final year of inspection, fulfilling the MCI conditions seems almost impossible.

The government must complete the recruitment process of faculty before the notification of the new session to retain the seats. But MCI has notified a number of MBBS seats in the month of May before the NEET UG exam but completing the recruitment till then would not be possible since the model code of conduct was in effect until May 23. Thus GMCs are likely to lose 100 MBBS seats permanently.

Colleges facing staff crunch for years

Patiala GMC had 11.28% staff shortage in 2015, 17.52% in 2016, 19.94% in 2017, 22.5% in 2018 and 23% in 2019
Amritsar GMC had 16.32% staff crunch in 2015-16, 11.04% in 2017, 16.09% in 2018 and 16% in 2019
Posts of Assistant Professor are lying vacant. No Assistant Professor had been recruited since 2015
In November 2018, the state had invited over 300 applications for Assistant Professor but no recruitments could be made before the imposition of the poll code

Client Testimonial

MBBS Abroad is a big decision and your success depends upon the honesty of your consultant. It is a long process starting from choosing the right college to reaching there at college door step and finally studying there for next 5-6 years. You are in a new country without many old friends. We were sure to approach a consultant who is based out of our district only so that not only during admission but for next 6 years, we can have smooth interactions. So, we approached GKWorks as they have a branch in Saharanpur. As we anticipated, there are lot of things to be done during admission process that goes for 3-4 months. At every step, it was useful for us to have our consultant who was only 20 minutes’ drive from our home. We were able to discuss everything face to face any day and thus were able to have easy process.

Best thing about Vivek Gupta Sir is his selfless counselling. As I am already a BSC/ MSC, he suggested me to go to Philippines as I was able to get straight admission into MD and this finishes my entire course in 4 years flat. In any other country, it would have taken by 5.5-6 years. Ms Kanimojhi in Chennai office of GKWorks was equally supportive in coordination regarding documents, departure and all other formalities.

We live 100 Km’s away from Varanasi. The internet connection in our town is very weak and my parents are not that educated. For us, understanding the word RTGS was also very difficult. Thanks to Amit Pandey Sir, who is Gkworks Varanasi incharge, he helped us to do all small things. Going with us to get forex to helping us doing RTGS for fee payment, he was always there with us. He only helped us to apply for passport online and went with us to passport office Varanasi. Such support at ground level was provided by GKworks team both in Varanasi and Delhi.

My parents were not very comfortable to send me abroad especially my mother as I am the only son of my parents. I really wanted to become a doctor and thus approached Hemant Mishra Sir, director of Bareilly branch of GKWorks. He went out of his way to convince my mother. He would have come 5 times to my home, invited us to his office and home 10 times before my mother was finally convinced. It is only due to Hemant Sir in Bareilly that I am pursuing my course today. I wish GKworks and especially Bareilly branch all the very best to help many more students for their life dreams.
