approximately 4,500 seats in MBBS courses, while nearly 6,400
seats have been increased at the post graduate level, Health
Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad said Tuesday.
In a written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha, the minister
said the recent revision of guidelines by the Medical Council of
India "has increased a total of 4,542 MBBS seats in 21 new medical
colleges and 33 existing medical colleges during the academic year
2011-12".
Among the steps take to increase the number of seats for medical
courses was reducing the change in teacher-student ratio from 1:1
to 1:2.

additional PG seats in various disciplines in medical colleges
during the last two academic years 2010-11 and 2011-12," Azad
said.
He added that 4,000 more PG seats are like to be increased as
