National Medical Commission OKs 3 medical colleges in Karnataka

DK Shivakumar faced a setback as NMC rejected Karnataka's proposal for medical colleges in Kanakapura and Ramanagara for 2024-25, citing technical reasons and staff scarcity. Three colleges added 350 MBBS seats. Karnataka now has 73 medical institutes with a total intake of 12,095 students this academic year.
