The Medical Council of India (MCI) has decided to increase postgraduate (PG) seats in medical institutes, After the opposition to increase more quotas during admissions to professional courses.

Students are agitating against the central government’s decision to introduce a 10% quota for economically weaker sections (EWS) that will eat into unreserved groups.

Keeping this in mind, the board of governors of MCI has decided to increase PG seats in existing medical institutes under section 10A (increase in admission capacity of a study/ training) of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 for the 2020-21 academic year.

The notification also shares a format that colleges need to follow to apply for this.

While MCI is ready to increase the intake capacity of PG medical institutes in the next academic year, it has also asked for a detailed report from the institutes to be eligible for more seats.

Since the notification is recent, implementation for the current academic year is not possible.
