The MCI has also given approval to the Apollo Hospitals Group and an NRI group to set up medical colleges. Apollo group will launch medical college in Hyderabad and NRI group will set up medical college in Vishakhapatnam.
Each college has an intake of 100 seats. With this, the total number of MBBS seats in the state is set to cross the 5000 mark this year.
