More MBBS seats available this year under government quota in Karnataka

More MBBS seats available this year under government quota in Karnataka


Bangalore: Meritorious students aspiring for a medical seat in graduate courses (MBBS) under the government quota can raise their hopes a bit as the intake for the Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) in Hubli has been increased.
“Our efforts to improve the infrastructure at the government medical college in Hubli have shown results. The Centre has agreed to increase the intake of the college by another 50 seats. We have also received assurance from the Centre for raising the intake in all government hospitals to 250 from the academic year 2011-12,” medical education minister Ramachandre Gowda said on Tuesday.
Explaining the reasons for the new found optimism, he said, “All vacant posts of nurses, lab technicians are being filled, laboratories are being upgraded and walk-in interviews are being held to fill the vacant posts of lecturers and professors immediately in these medical colleges and the hospitals attached to them. Full autonomy has been given to medical college heads concerned in conducting the interviews and selecting the right candidates.”
The huge improvement in infrastructure in government colleges would qualify them for an increased intake, he said.
However, he refused to comment on the Centre’s decision to wind up the Medical Council of India, but expressed confidence that the final effect would be good for medical education in the country.
In Hassan medical college alone there are 238 posts vacant at various levels. “They are being filled. The total number of such vacancies is over 500 and all of them will be filled within the next couple of months,” the minister said.
Referring to the threat from the Karnataka Pollution Control Board for closure of government hospitals in Bangalore that have not yet installed effluent treatment plants, the minister said that such a situation would not arise as the establishment of such plants would be completed in the next one month.
The total number of medical seats in the state is 3,805. Of which 1,822 are in the government quota.
