The visit is of significance for its assessment will decide the fate of the continuation of the 10 MBBS seat increase that was granted to the college in September 2015 and May 2016.

The MCI inspectors found many discrepancies including restricted space in the library and the museum of the anatomy department. The team also did a head count of faculty in various departments and hostels, besides visiting the urban and rural health centers. The team on their round of the casualty and wards of the attached MY hospital discovered several irregularities.

The college administration was taken aback by this surprise check, as they were preoccupied with the task of cancelling excess admissions.
