Mumbai: The Medical Council of India (MCI) has recognized 17 medical colleges including the MGM Medical College at Navi Mumbai; Government Medical College (GMC) at Latur and Miraj; NDMVPS Medical College at Nashik and four other undergraduate colleges across the state.

PDMMC, Amravati is the only college which has not been approved for reasons of shortage of teaching staff of up to 15 percent and shortage of residents of up to 10 percent.

MCI member Dr. Vasant Pawar who is also a representative of Maharashtra Medical Graduates' Constituency and MLC, said, "We have tried to simplify procedures and have taken efforts to see that colleges comply with the required criteria to be recognized. I have done my duty in a hope that now the immense shortage of teaching staff will be filled up."
