The state sought about 300 seats last year, out of which 200 were approved. Due to its limitation in infrastructure, including beds, hostel rooms, etc, the state had to settle for 300 seats only. Because of this limitation, many State leading medical colleges could not start certain PG courses.

For example, King Edward Memorial Hospital and Seth Gordhandas Sunderdas Medical College (KEM), was not allowed to increase its intake of students for MD and diploma in radio-diagnosis. In another case, Sion Hospital too was refused permission to start MD pathology. The Government Medical College, Akola, could not start as many as eight courses, including degrees in pediatrics, orthopedics, general surgery, respiratory medicine. Overall, around 15 medical colleges from the private and government sectors were not allowed to increase PG intake in varied courses.
