Around 18 medical institutions have failed to gain Medical Council of Indias (MCI) approval to conduct courses in the coming academic session.
Atleast half of these are government institutions. According to MCI sources, the major reasons behind disallowing these institutions include shortage of teaching faculty, infrastructure such as building, medical equipment, hostel facility, deficiency of clinical material and poor hospital services.
In fact, the faculty crunch at some of the medical colleges is so acute that a significant number of faculty members have been found to be serving more than one institution. Around 200 teachers have been detected using forged certificates of qualifications and experience, said a senior MCI official. The council has listed the erring faculty members on its website.
The proposal to revise the MBBS programme is also awaiting approval from the Union government. Passed by the MCIs general body in 2004, the proposal seeks to increase the duration of the MBBS course from four-and-a half years to five years and include modules on computer training, medical ethics and emergency health care, besides updated knowledge in the existing subjects.
