The state government has already sent the proposal of increasing PG seats to the National Medical Commission (NMC). The proposal will introduce postgraduate medical courses in Government Medical Colleges (GMCs) in Jalgaon, Gondia, and Chandrapur. Colleges which offer only UG medical courses will also receive few seats in PG courses.
Dr T P Lahane, director at Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER) responded to the proposal by saying that more PG medical seats will increase their manpower and the DMER has proposed to increase the seats by 25% in colleges which satisfies the NMC criteria for beds and faculty.
