The college of former Union Minister Sujana Chowdary is facing recognition cancellation.

The Medical Council of India (MCI) has decided to withdraw recognition from Mediciti Medical College, which is controlled by former Union Minister Sujana Chowdary. In addition, the council has issued instructions to halt admissions for the school year 2023-24. This judgement is the consequence of MCI findings of irregularities, resulting in a serious setback for the college and its students.

Irregularities in MCI’s Decision

Admissions to the MBBS programme at Mediciti Institute of Medical Sciences have been cancelled for the academic year 2023-24, according to the cancellation order issued by the National Medical Commission (NMC). The decision was made due to anomalies discovered during the college’s inspection by the MCI. This cancellation is a major setback for both the college management and the prospective medical students who were seeking admission.

History of Mediciti Medical College

Mediciti Medical College is located on the outskirts of Hyderabad near Ghanpur and is connected with Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences in Warangal. Since its inception in 2002, the college has served as a medical education institution for nearly two decades. The huge 40-acre campus has served as a medical education hub, catering to the needs of students from all over the world.

The Effect on Students

The loss of recognition and the suspension of admissions for the academic year 2023-24 have left present and prospective students in an uncertain and worrying situation. The college now has 750 MBBS students and 150 PG students enrolled. The abrupt cancellation has left these students befuddled and has prompted concerns about their future and the authenticity of their degrees.

Clarification at College

In reaction to the MCI’s decision, the administration of Mediciti Institute of Medical Sciences has stepped forward to clarify that its recognition was not revoked. The college administration has stated their willingness to collaborate with the MCI to fix any irregularities that may have been discovered. They maintain that the college is still committed to providing its students with high-quality education and training.
