Mysuru Medical College Granted 50 More MBBS Seats Amid Rising Demand

Mysuru, October 25, 2025: The Mysuru Medical College and Research Institute (MMCRI), a leading medical institution in India, has secured approval from the National Medical Commission (NMC) to increase its MBBS intake to 250 seats, up from 200. The decision comes amidst a growing demand for medical education and fierce competition for government college placements. Admissions for the additional seats are currently underway.

“The increase in intake to 250 seats was expected since the institute had met all the prerequisites for the same. We had upgraded the college infrastructure during our centenary celebrations in anticipation of more seats. This will largely benefit meritorious students amidst the rising demand for medical seats,” said MMCRI Dean and Director K.R. Dakshayani.

The NMC conducted a thorough assessment of MMCRI’s infrastructure and resources before granting approval. The institute boasts 2,300 beds across its affiliated hospitals, serving approximately 2,300 outpatients daily.

In addition to the MBBS seat expansion, the NMC has also sanctioned 19 new postgraduate seats, raising the total to 172. MMCRI has also applied to offer Super Speciality (DM/MCh) courses in Urology and Nephrology.

Over the past few years, MMCRI has invested heavily in upgrading its facilities, including the construction of two new hostels, new lecture halls, examination halls and libraries. The college is now among the top state medical colleges alongside the Bangalore Medical College (BMC) and the Ballari Medical College and Research Centre with 250 MBBS seats.
