Thiruvananthapuram: With the second round of allotment to medical courses scheduled for July 27, the fate of many medical colleges hangs in the balance as they have been denied MCI recognition.
The P.K. Das Medical College in Palakkad and D.M. Institute of Medical Sciences in Wayanad, which had moved the Supreme Court against the MCI refusal to grant them recognition, were asked by the apex court to approach the High Court. A division bench presided over by Justice M.Y. Iqbal on Tuesday criticised the colleges for approaching the Supreme Court directly.
The other medical colleges which have not received MCI recognition include Al-Azhar Medical College and Super Speciality Hospital, Thodupuzha, Mount Zion Medical College, Chayalode, Ezhamkulam, Adoor, Pathanamthitta, Sri Gokulam Medical College Trust and Research Foundation, Thiruvananthapuram, KMCT Medical College, Kozhikode, Kannur Medical College and Malabar Medical College, Kozhikode.
They will not be included in the next round of allotment also as they have not entered into an agreement with the government. Though options were invited to all the four colleges under Inter-Church Council (ICC) in the first round, allotment was not made to Amala Medical College, Jubilee Mission Medical College and Pushpagiri Medical College due to lack of MCI documents. They are likely to be included in the second round.
The Cooperative Academy of Medical Sciences, Pariyaram, was also not included in that allotment. The only self-financing college to find a place in the allotment is the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church Medical College, Pariyaram. Meanwhile, the third allotment to engineering and architecture courses in 2015 was published on Tuesday.
