While Mysore Medical College and Research Institute (MMCRI) has set a goal to increase MBBS seat intake from 150 seats to 250 seats in the coming academic year, it is also interested in increasing the number of PG medical seats in various departments, particularly the ones that are most sought after, to meet the growing demand for specialists.
The National Medical Commission (NMC) has completed the process of renewing recognition to the MMCRI for MBBS seats in online mode. The renewal is for a period of five years.
With the MMCRI meeting the requirements suggested by the NMC team in its last inspection over the seat intake, the institute is hopeful of getting the nod for 250 seats even as the team is expected to make another visit to Mysuru this year, or it may study the institute’s proposal online. The NMC team has already gone through the examination pattern, syllabus and other details.
