Will the Mysore Medical College and Research Institute (MMCRI) get the National Medical Commission’s nod for increasing the intake of MBBS seats from 150 to 250 ahead of its 100th anniversary?
After failing to get permission last year, the MMCRI is now planning to make a decisive attempt amidst rising demand for MBBS seats. The MMCRI is gearing up to put its application before the NMC as it is in the final phase of fulfilling the requirements.
The proposal to increase intake of seats gains significance as many students are going abroad for medical education, with the competition getting tougher in India. Over 16 lakh students wrote NEET last year and the number may go up this year.
