Calicut-Medical-College

After getting brick-backs from Medical Council of India, Self-financing Medical Colleges in the State finally received a good news on MBBS/BDS admission which brought a sigh of relief. The Oversight Committee headed by Justice RM Lodha has given approval to two new colleges in the State and also hiked the number of seats in various self-financing medical colleges.

As per the recommendation of Oversight Committee, Kerala Medical College, Palakkadu and SR Medical College, Thiruvanathapuram got approval. Both the colleges can admit 150 students each. Moreover, the Committee has shown green signal for admission to PK Das Institute of Medical Sciences, Palakkad, DM WIMS, Wayanadu, Al-Azhar Medical College, Thodupuzha, Malabar Medical College, Calicut, Dr. Somervell Memorial CSI Medical College, Karakonam (150 seats for all) and Mount Zion Medical College, Pathanamthitta (100 seats). These colleges were denied permission for intake this year by the Medical Council of India.

The Committee has accorded sanction to Kannur Medical College to admit 150 students this year.This was not allowed by MCI. However, the Committee has rejected the application of KMCT Kozhikod for increasing the number of seats from 100 to 150. State govt’s ambitious project of Parippilly Medical College under ESI is also not in the list. It is to be understood that the govt failed to convince Lodha Committee about Idukki Medical College, the approval for which was denied by MCI this year. Thus instead of 1100 denied seats the state gets 1150 seats this year.

According to sources, the approval given by the Oversight Committee is provisional. The Committee has clarified that the recognition is given based on the declaration of compliance report submitted by the Medical Colleges. The Committee will arrange inspections in the medical colleges at any time after September 30. If the colleges fail to provide basic facilities as promised, they will be barred from admitting students for two years.
