The Thirumala Devaswom Medical College (TDMC) was established at Vandanam in Alappuzha on March 6, 1963, by R. Shankar, the state’s then-CM. During its 60 years of existence, it has triumphed over many obstacles and evolved into a premier institution. There were several roadblocks on the way from private administration to government takeover.

The Road to the Foundation of the Medical College

In response to the district’s need for a medical school, a panel of prominent people headed by Alappuzha MLA Nafeesath Beevi met with CM Pattom Thanu Pillai in February 1961.

But, the CM advised them that, due to financial limitations, the government was unable to establish a medical college. However, Mr. Pillai advised that K. Nagendra Prabhu, president of the Gowda Saraswath Brahmin community’s Alleppey Ananthanarayanapuram Thuravoor Thirumala Devaswom (AATTD), establish a private medical college.

The suggestion was welcomed by Mr.Prabhu, who founded multiple educational institutions in the region, and the proposal for TDMC, Kerala’s premier medical college run by a private organisation, was born.

On August 30, 1961, the government gave permission to establish a medical college. The 125 acres in Vandanam were acquired in the name of AATTD “Adhikari” Srinivasa Naick by the college administrative council.

“Mr. Naick was tight with Health Minister V.K. Velappan, which sped up the college’s inauguration. The first intake of MBBS students’ sessions started on August 17, 1963, five months after the cornerstone was placed on March 6, 1963. According to N. Gopinatha Prabhu, son of K. Nagendra Prabhu, “The AATTD sanctioned 25 lakhs to build the classrooms, labs, library, dorms, and other facilities.

Shifting of the Authority to the Government

Before the state’s political atmosphere shifted, everything was going smoothly. The University of Kerala and the Indian Medical Council “created the conditions adverse to the functioning of the college,” according to the Indian Medical Council.

“The college was forbidden from collecting capitation fees, and the fees were cut in half.” The administration broke its pledge to permit students to undertake clinical research at the District Hospital in Alappuzha. After K. Nagendra Prabhu’s death on June 2, 1965, things got worse, according to G. Nagendra Prabhu, secretary of the K. Nagendra Prabhu Foundation.

AATTD’s newly elected president, V. Kesava Pai, formed the TD Medical College Trust. On October 17, 1967, the trust headed by D. Narayana Pai and the state government inked a contract allowing the latter to run the establishment for a term of five years as the administration of the medical college became more and more challenging.

The government made an offer to the trust in 1972 to return management of the institution in exchange for a payment of Rs. 40 lakhs, which was ostensibly used for college administration. The K. Nagendra Prabhu Foundation claims that the government failed to transmit the audited statement of expenses to back up its claim. AATTD also asked the government to extend the time of administration by an additional five years, but the government declined.

“There were numerous debate rounds, but nothing significant was accomplished.” No response was sent to a letter the government issued to the chairman of the trust on May 21, 1973. The government then invoked Section 7 of the agreement and issued an order with a date of October 23, 1973. With effect from October 17, 1972, the college and all of its movable and immovable properties were “vested” in the Keralan government, according to

 Mr. Nagendra Prabhu.

He states that the ideas of the privatized and assisted sectors to work in the domain of medical education had been denied by the then-politicians’ short-sighted approach.

“From 1965 to 1967, the college was run on a grant-in-aid basis for two years, with the government covering 60% of costs and the Thirumala Devaswom contributing 40%. If this had persisted, medical colleges would have been founded in the supported sector. Giving the nation’s deserving kids access to inexpensive medical education would have changed everything, according to Mr. Prabhu.

The Odisha University of Health Sciences is now operational. According to a notification released by the health and family welfare department on Sunday, the OUHS was founded on March 5, 2023 (Panchayati Raj and Lokaseva Divas), with its main office in Bhubaneswar. 

The long-awaited Odisha University of Health Sciences (OUHS) was founded on Sunday in Bhubaneswar, it began operating from a temporary structure at Sishu Bhawan Square.

Odisha University of Health Sciences is operational as of now.

According to a notification released by the health and family welfare department on Sunday, the OUHS was founded on March 5, 2023 (Panchayati Raj and Lokaseva Divas), with its main office in Bhubaneswar.

On Sunday, CM Naveen Patnaik gave his approval.

The new university will offer standardised, high-quality medical instruction in allopathic, homoeopathic, and Ayurvedic medicine as well as nursing, pharmacy, physiotherapy, laboratory technology, and all other paramedical disciplines in the state.

This university will be affiliated with more than 200 medical and paramedical schools in the state. The authorities are developing standard academic calendars and curricula for medical colleges affiliated with various universities that will form part of OUHS.

At least ten government medical colleges are already operating in Odisha, and the OUHS will soon be associated with a number of Ayurvedic, homoeopathic, nursing, and paramedical institutes that are currently part of various general universities.

Four additional government medical colleges will open in the next two to three years at Kalahandi, Jajpur, Kandhamal, and Talcher. There will also be private institutions that offer paramedic and health education. These institutes will be governed by this university.

MLAs from all political parties expressed concern in the state assembly in July of last year over the delay in the university’s commissioning.

In 2014, the affiliating health university’s founding was announced by Damodar Rout, the country’s then-minister of health.

In September 2021, more than a year ago, a measure creating the university was approved. The Odisha University of Health Sciences Act went into effect on August 15 of last year to address the state’s urgent need for high-quality medical education.

Former SCB Medical College and Hospital principal and dean Datteswar Hota is now an official on special duty for the university, managing its activities.

According to sources, the government has been determining the initial infrastructural requirements and labour requirements for the university.

A committee has been established to recommend a different location for the university’s permanent campus in the city, one that is around 25 acres large.

GOA, Panaji: The National Medical Commission (NMC) has approved new MD courses at Goa Medical College, which is good news for the state of Goa’s postgraduate medical students. From the academic year 2023–2024, GMC will offer doctor of medicine (MD) courses in geriatric medicine and immunology, haematology, and blood transfusion. Vishwajit Rane, the state’s minister of health, disclosed this information on Thursday when he revealed that the NMC had approved these new teaching courses. On this, he continued, “In terms of GMC’s academic history, it is a significant accomplishment.” A few medical universities offer the new MD programmes.”

Goa Medical College (GMC), one of the nation’s oldest medical institutions, was founded in 1691. It is a government-run organisation and an organic Goa University institute. The college offers 86 PG medical seats in addition to the 180 MBBS seats that are open for admittance to MBBS students. Advertisement The college is now prepared to commence new MD courses in geriatric medicine and immunology, haematology, and blood transfusion, according to the most recent local news report by the Times of India. A senior doctor from the GMC commented on the situation and noted that, over the previous five years, the college’s activities had significantly increased in both studies and facilities.

The super-speciality building should be completely operational in the next months, and work on the regional cancer centre should be finished by the end of 2023 or the beginning of 2024, the doctor said.

“With the GMC offering so many super-speciality courses, Goan students no longer will be required to go outside the state for their advanced studies,” he mentioned while also mentioning that the GMC is regarded as one of the nation’s top medical schools. Medical Dialogues reported last year that 10 additional super-speciality seats in six departments, including surgery, urology, plastic surgery, cardiology, cardiac anaesthesia, and nephrology, had been approved by the NMC for the college.

NMC’s new draft:

The National Medical Commission (NMC) has made it clear in most draft busts of the Bachelor’s degree Medical Education Regulations, 2023, that only relocation from a public medical college to a public institute and from a private medical college to a non-government college will be given permission.

 “No mutual exchange shall be permitted,” In the newly released draught regulations, the NMC, the top governing organisation for medical education, provided clarification.  

Unlike former policies, which did not prohibit pupil movement from public to private institutions and vice versa, this does. In actuality, in the past, individuals were only qualified for migration after passing the initial professional MBBS exam.

 In addition to this, the prior norms of the former Medical Council of India (MCI) had also limited transfer to 5% of the college’s approved enrollment for the year. Formerly, moving from one medical institution in the same region to another was prohibited for any reason.

However, the NMC has recently suggested alterations to the migration regulations and published a draught in this regard. Medical Dialogues had previously revealed that NMC had recently put the draught of these regulations in the public domain and had also solicited feedback in this respect from the general public and stakeholders.

 NMC has addressed a number of concerns relating to UG medical education, including the entrance, counselling, and migration processes associated with UG medical admission.

Regarding the subject of migration, NMC said that “No student designated to a medical institution, notwithstanding anything stated in these Regulations, shall seek migration to any other medical institution after the first academic year of admission.”

The draught has said that, although it is silent on the number of seats for which migration is permitted, “Migration of students from one medical college to another medical college shall be granted as per the guidelines of the UGMEB of the NMC, only in exceptional cases to the most deserving among the applicants for good and sufficient reasons and not on routine grounds. Migration shall be from a government medical college to a government medical college and from a non-government medical college to a non-government medical college only. “No mutual exchange shall be permitted.” 

The earlier regulations are in conflict with this. According to the MCI Rules on Graduate Medical Education, 1997, as amended in 2008, “Migration of students from one medical college to another medical college may be granted on any genuine ground, subject to the availability of a vacancy in the college where migration is sought and fulfilling the other requirements laid down in the Regulations. Migration would be restricted to 5% of the sanctioned intake of the college during the year. “No migration will be permitted on any ground from one medical college to another located within the same city.”

 “Migration of students from one college to another is permissible only if both the colleges are recognised by the Central Government under section 11(2) of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956, and further subject to the condition that it shall not result in an increase in the sanctioned intake capacity for the academic year concerned in respect of the receiving medical college,” the prior rules went on to mention.

While the new draught prohibits migration after the first year, the previous regulations, “The applicant candidate shall be eligible to apply for migration only after qualifying in the first professional MBBS examination. Migration during the clinical course of study shall not be allowed on any ground”

GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION, 1997 (2008 Amendment)

•  Migration of students from one medical college to another medical college may be granted on any genuine ground subject to the availability of vacancy in the college where migration is sought and fulfilling the other requirements laid down in the Regulations. Migration would be restricted to 5% of the sanctioned intake of the college during the year. 
• No migration will be permitted on any ground from one medical college to another located within the same city.
•  Migration of students from one College to another is permissible only if both the colleges are recognised by the Central Government under section 11(2) of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 and further subject to the condition that it shall not result in an increase in the sanctioned intake capacity for the academic year concerned in respect of the receiving medical college.
• The applicant candidate shall be eligible to apply for migration only after qualifying in the first professional MBBS examination. Migration during the clinical course of study shall not be allowed on any ground. 

 Draft Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 2023

•  Migration of students from one medical college to another medical college shall be granted as per the guidelines of UGMEB of NMC, only in exceptional cases to the most deserving among the applicants for good and sufficient reasons and not on routine grounds.
•  Migration shall be from a government medical college to a government medical college and from a non-government medical college to a non-government medical college only. No mutual exchange shall be permitted

No student designated to a medical institution, notwithstanding anything stated in these Regulations, shall seek migration to any other medical institution after the first academic year of admission.

The field of medicine is highly competitive, and not everyone who aspires to become a doctor is able to get into a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) program. Scoring high enough in the entrance exams and meeting other requirements, such as interviews and extracurricular activities, is essential to securing a seat in an MBBS program. However, if you do not score high enough to get into MBBS, it doesn’t mean that your dream of working in healthcare is over. There are other career paths in healthcare that you can pursue.

If you do not score high enough to get into an MBBS programme, there are several alternative options to consider:

1. Pursue a related healthcare degree: There are several healthcare degrees that you can consider, such as Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS), Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm), Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT), or Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS).
2. Consider other medical-related courses: You can also consider courses such as Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSc Nursing), Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Technology (BSc MLT), or Bachelor of Science in Medical Imaging Technology (BSc MIT), among others.
3. Explore alternative career paths: If you are not interested in pursuing a healthcare degree, you can explore alternative career paths such as healthcare management, healthcare informatics, medical writing, or medical research.
4. Consider taking a gap year: If you are not sure about your options, you can take a gap year to explore your interests, gain work experience, or pursue additional studies that could improve your chances of getting into an MBBS program in the future.

Ultimately, it is important to remember that there are several pathways to a fulfilling career in healthcare and that scoring low on an exam should not discourage you from pursuing your dreams, as there are many other options available for those interested in healthcare, and each has its own unique set of skills and knowledge requirements. It’s a good idea to research different options and speak with professionals in the field to determine which path is right for you.

 If you need professional help with this, you can connect with our team. We can tell you about various options in the medical field and relevant colleges where the patient load is good. Where the quality of education is good, what is good for you to choose, and what is your interest if you are not eligible for MBBS. Our team is always there for you to help you succeed.
