A second visit of a team of the Medical Council of India to these parts has raised the hope that the State Government will be allowed to start admitting students to its six new medical colleges.
The MCI team was in Kalaburagi on Thursday and is due to inspect the proposed facilities at Koppal and Gadag, Medical Education Minister Sharanprakash Patil said in Kalaburagi on Thursday.
Earlier in the day it went over the facilities of the proposed Gulbarga Institute of Medical Sciences. It was verifying if the colleges have corrected the deficiencies that it had found during the earlier visit.
The team is yet to schedule its follow-up visits to the colleges at Chamarajanagar, Karwar and Kodagu. Dr. Patil said, “We have already submitted the compliance report and are confident that the MCI will send its team soon to these three new colleges.”
The buildings already had the stipulated number of lecture halls, laboratory facilities, hostels, library buildings and other infrastructure required to start the first year MBBS course. The staff and other deficiencies were being addressed.
