Public medical colleges in Nepal add 418 seats for the upcoming academic year

Nepal's Medical Education Commission has increased the number of seats in public medical colleges, including 50 new MBBS places in Geta, ahead of entrance examinations scheduled to begin on Saturday. The increase is confined to government institutions, with 75% of these seats reserved for scholarship students, aiming to provide opportunities at lower fees. Medical reforms campaigner Dr. Govinda KC has challenged the decision due to concerns about infrastructure and staffing.
