Earlier this year, a large number of doctors who were professors and professors associates were transferred from the BJ Medical College to six universities in the state where MCI inspections were carried out for postgraduate courses.
“At the BJ Medical College, there is a possibility of decreasing seats in the PG program and the Anesthesia PG program.
A similar situation has been made in medical colleges in places such as Rajkot and Vadodara too,” said Source.
