The state government has decided to take control of vacant medical college seats after two rounds of admissions. The move comes in the wake of malpractices by private medical colleges last year.
The Young Doctors Association (YDA), Pakistan, has said that due to alleged negligence of Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC), 26 private medical and dental colleges have not created seats for postgraduate training in their respective teaching hospitals.
The private medical college managements in Andhra Pradesh have agreed not to hike fee structure for the current academic year 2013-14, provided the state government do not interfere with the admission procedure of management quota seats in the state.
