Jharkhand High Court restored 160 Medical Seats in the state



In its historic verdict Jharkhand High Court has restored 160 Medical Seats in the state which were earlier reduced by the Medical Council of India (MCI). Hundreds of students were anxiously waiting for this decision and now they can take admission into three Medical Colleges of Jharkhand. High Court has ordered state government to take admission for all 350 Medical Seats in RIMS, PMCH and MGM Medical College. Few weeks back MCI had slashed 160 MBBS Seats in the state due to poor infrastructure and facilities in various Medical Colleges of Jharkhand.




MCI had taken this harsh decision after the completion of first round of counselling when many students had already taken admission in various Medical Colleges of the state. Though Jharkhand government gave undertaking to MCI but positive signs did not come from there. Finally state government and several students appealed in the Jharkhand High Court against the decision of MCI. In its historic verdict High Court mentioned following points.

1)      MCI did not call Jharkhand in the meeting where representatives of other states participated

2)      The undertaking of Jharkhand was not considered while Medical Seats in the other states were restored after considering same undertaking

3)      Nobody should be discriminated


Jharkhand High Court also cited the example of two Medical Colleges of Uttar Pradesh where in spite of several deficiencies MCI recently agreed to restore Medical Seats after receiving undertaking from the concerned authorities. This decision of the court has also relieved thousands of students who will appear in the Medical entrance exam next year. After the historic verdict of High Court the number of Medical Seats in RIMS, PMCH and MGM Medical College are 150, 100 and 100 respectively. 


Jharkhand government must take lesson from this unfortunate incident and should look to upgrade facilities in the three Medical Colleges of the state. If High Court had not restored Medical Seats in the state then only 190 MBBS seats would have been available in the three Medical Colleges of Jharkhand.
