GDCH gives 27 rooms for AIIMS students

By Vikas Vaidya


Government Dental College and Hospital (GDCH) decided to give 27 rooms of its hostel situated near the hostel number 3, for the students of All India Institute of Medical Sciences at Nagpur. This will be a first batch of AIIMS at Nagpur. Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) has already allotted the class rooms, space for practical, wards to AIIMS as a temporary arrangement.
The admissions to 50 AIIMS seats are underway. The counseling is being done at GMCH only for which Dean Dr Abhimanyu Niswade constituted a committee.
Dr Viral Kamdar, Health Advisor to Union Minister of Surface Transport Nitin Gadkari and Coordinator for AIIMS said, “The issue of stay for the AIIMS students was troubling us. GDCH earlier had given 18 rooms for AIIMS students. So we could have accommodated 36 students had two students shared one room. I then requested GDCH administration to give seven more rooms and it was kind enough to give 9 more rooms.”
Till its own building comes into being at MIHAN, AIIMS will have to go through some problems. Next year the seats will be doubled and it will have total intake of 150 by the year 2020 so again, issue of accommodation, conducting classes come up. According to Dr Kamdar, the solution was ready and everything would be fine. The AIIMS would be ready in MIHAN by 2021 and start functioning from there only.
It was said that AIIMS would be of no use as no local student would get admission there. But one girl of Nagpur got admission in AIIMS and also she became the first student of Nagpur AIIMS.
AIIMS has already started various recruitment procedures. The interviews for the post of Director were held yesterday at Delhi. It was said that J P Nadda, Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare would be a part of interview panel but he was not.

Now Maharashtra Government has refused to give admission in the State quota of Post Graduate intake. Due to severe shortage of MBBS seats in the country, most of the Indian students are opting for medical colleges in China, Russia, Central America, the Philippines among others every year. Getting the degree in these countries is relatively cheaper. A student can complete MBBS abroad in less than Rs 30 lakh. In the state, the student has to pay, apart from the fee, a donation of up to Rs 80 lakh to get a seat in management quota. All this totals to Rs 1.5 crore. Earliers these students had to obtain eligibility certificate from MCI. This data has been obtained from Board of Intermediate Education to verify the age and qualifications for doing MBBS in foreign countries. Now MCI has
