Admissions to the MBBS course
at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Patna, would start
from September this year. This was finalized during a recent meeting
held in New Delhi between Union health minister Ghulam Nabi Azad and Bihar health minister Ashwini Kumar Choubey. The latter was accompanied by principal secretary, health, Vyasji.
"The Centre has granted permission for admission of 50 students to the first year of MBBS course from this academic session beginning September. The intake will be increased to 100 seats from next year."
It may be mentioned here that earlier, state health minister Choubey, in a communication to Union health minister Azad, had requested him to allow admission in AIIMS, Patna, from the academic session beginning August 1. Choubey had also requested Azad to issue notification for the admission of 100 MBBS students from this academic session.
Regarding issuing of notification for renaming AIIMS, Patna, as Jai Prakash Narayan All India Institute of Medical Sciences (JPNAIIMS), which the state government has demanded from the Centre, Vyasji said talks were held in this connection too. The Centre assured to shortly issue a notification in this regard. He also said the state government had attached the 300-bed Guru Govind Singh Hospital at Patna City to AIIMS, Patna.
Azad, who had visited the JPNAIIMS site at Phulwarisharif here in May, had said that academic session could begin this year after completion of some unfinished works in a couple of months. He had, however, said that the hospital could function only from 2013 as it would take time to make it operational.
Vyasji on Monday said in the first year there is no need of hospital, so there would be no problem on this score. The government is committed to complete all pending works soon to make the hospital functional.
