NMC approves 359 new PG seats in Telangana government medical colleges

The National Medical Commission has approved 359 new postgraduate seats for government medical colleges in Telangana, according to Sakshi Education. Thirteen of these colleges will offer PG medical courses for the first time. Other regional coverage says total PG seats in government colleges rise from 1,266 to 1,625, and colleges offering PG courses grow from 10 to 23.

Coverage notes the expansion lets more MBBS graduates in the state pursue PG study locally. A separate regional report said 12 of 14 new MD Radiodiagnosis seats sit in colleges without a government MRI machine in their district, which raises questions about practical training.
