The Postgraduate Committee considered the letter dated 17.08.2008 from the Government of India, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Nirman Bhavan, New Delhi along with a copy of communication received from Dr. Chinta Mohan, Member of Parliament (Lok Sabha) and approved the report of the Study Group. The report of the Committee is as under:-

“The present Study Group came to be constituted by the President (Acting) of the Medical Council of India for rendering its considered opinion in regard to -

- Feasibility of increasing seats at PG level for doctors. - Whether the long duration of super-speciality courses (DM and MCH) of

Cardiology, Gastroenterology, Nephrology and others could be reduced without compromising on high quality training.

48

Accordingly, the Study Group had its meetings on 20.08.2008, 30.09.2008 and 14.10.2008. Upon perusal of the relevant papers that were brought before the Committee and the critical appraisal thereto, the Study Group is pleased to observe as under:-

Feasibility of increasing seats at PG level for doctors:

In this regard the Study Group noted that the Central Govt. in its communications dated 20.06.2008 and 28.08.2008 has stated that the seats in different postgraduate medical courses may be increased by relaxing the teacher student ratio at 1:3 for pre clinical, para clinical and 17 clinical subjects and 1:2 in the remaining clinical subjects.

The Council in its communication dated 05.09.2008 has conveyed its observations regarding such blanket relaxation of the teacher student ratio which is illogical and beyond comprehension.

The ratio of 1:1 which is being prescribed by the Council is with reference to yet another important ratio i.e. between student: number of beds which has been worked out by the Council as 1:3, and 80% occupancy thereof. The other ratio taken note of is the number of patients for training: postgraduate students. All these three ratios cater to desired levels of learning including hands on training. Any compromise thereat in the opinion of the Council would result in of the dilution of the desired standards of the postgraduate medical education and in the name of increase in quantity, the quality would get significantly marginalized.

For example it has been observed in the past that in so many institutions, the number of teachers in one unit are 4-5. In such an eventuality if the recommendations of ratio of 1:3 as proposed by the Govt. is effected, then it would result into 12-15 resident students per year in that one unit, and at the end of 3 years which is the duration of any postgraduate degree course there will be 40-45 postgraduate students with 5 postgraduate teachers in a unit of 30 beds leading to utter chaos. Resultantly, the number of doctors shall be more than the number of patients which is an unacceptable proposition and would dilute the standards of postgraduate education to a great extent.

Going by the ratio of 1 teacher : 3 students, the duration of course being 3 years of each postgraduate course, at every point of time each postgraduate teacher shall have 9 registered postgraduate students with him. The postgraduate studies contemplate compilation of a thesis as a minimum academic requirement. It would be difficult for any postgraduate teacher to be able to do justice to academic teaching, training including guiding this number of students for thesis as a result of such an unmanageable teacher student ratio.

It is stated that at present approximately 23,000 students pass out in various medical colleges across the country for whom approx. 11,600 seats are available in different postgraduate courses out of which nearly 9,600 seats are available for clinical disciplines. Further the National Board of Examination is also providing educational facilities in its various DNB courses of which nearly 5,000 seats are available annually as per the information provided by the National Board. Even if the ratio of postgraduate students/teachers is increased from 1:1 to 1:2, then this would lead to availability of nearly 23,000 seats for postgraduate courses which will ultimately mean that every student who is passing out MBBS course will have a chance to get admission in the postgraduate courses. This will lead to a disastrous situation because there will be very few MBBS doctors available for providing health services in rural areas which will lead to total collapse of health services in rural areas. Further, if the 9,600 seats available for clinical disciplines are increased to 19,000 because of dilution of ratio to 1:2 from 1:1,then almost everybody who aspires to have postgraduate education will get admission in a clinical discipline and consequentially nobody will go to pre and para clinical course. This will further lead to a severe shortage of trained faculty holding postgraduate degrees in already starved pre clinical and para clinical departments. As a result thereof, there would hardly be any MBBS graduate left who would not be getting

49

admitted to a clinical postgraduate course whereby the availability towards the rural health manpower of MBBS graduates to man the community health centers, primarily health centers and sub-centres will be further eroded and the required manpower for National Rural Health Mission consequently would not be available.

As such the Study Group would like to recommend as under on the basis of certain recommendations having already been made by the Council from time to time. Cumulatively, they are:- “…. 1. That the ratio of recognised postgraduate teacher to the number of students to be

admitted for the degree and diploma courses shall be 1:2 for Professor and 1:1 for an Associate Professor in each unit per year subject to a maximum of 4 PG seats including Diploma per unit per academic year in the subject/ speciality where Diploma is prescribed, provided a complement of 10 teaching beds is added to the prescribed bed strength of 30 for the unit.

2. The ratio of recognised postgraduate teacher to the number of students to be admitted for the degree course where Diploma is not prescribed shall be 1:2 for a Professor and 1:1 for Associate Professor in each unit per year subject to a maximum of 4 PG seats for the degree per unit per academic year provided a complement of 10 teaching beds is added to the prescribed bed strength of 30 for the unit

The aforesaid provisions would result in an increase of one seat (from 3 to 4) per unit for each Professor available as against the existing provision of the Postgraduate Regulation in subjects where Degree and Diploma are provided, whereas in subjects where Diploma is not provided and a Professor is available in the unit, it would result in increase of 2 postgraduate seats (from 2 to 4) per unit provided an additional component of 10 beds is added to the existing bed strength of 30 of a teaching unit.

The augmentation in bed strength is proposed to ensure that the ratio of the student:beds and clinical material thereof is maintained, so as to ensure maintenance of academic standards which is vital to the postgraduate training resulting in conferment of postgraduate Degree or Diploma, as the case may be.

3. It be noted that the amendments proposed by the Council to the Postgraduate Regulations, in January, 2004 that are pending consideration by the Govt. of India in respect of the 'waiver' of the requirement of additional teaching faculty (1 Assoc.Prof. & 1 Asstt.Prof.) for the postgraduate courses in the subjects (Anatomy, Physiology, Biochmestry, Pharmacolgy, Forensic Medicine, Microbiology, Radio-therapy and Community Medicine) be approved so that the same can be notified by the Medical Council of India.

4. Likewise the amendment in regard to proposed reduction in the faculty specially in the pre and para clinical subjects in the Regulation on Minimum Requirements for a Medical College for 50/100/150 seats in January, 2004, are pending consideration by the Govt. of India may also be approved, so that it could be notified by Medical Council of India for its operational effect.

Both these approvals by the Govt. of India (i.e. recommendations 3 & 4 above) and subsequent notification thereof by the Council is bound to facilitate adding up to the existing matrix of postgraduate seats in the concerned subjects.

5. It would be appropriate if public institutions in a timely manner commensurate with the infrastructural requirements and available personnel are promoted to take required initiative in respect of starting of the new postgraduate courses including augmentation of the existing intake so that the students who otherwise because of the inhabiting factor of the cost of postgraduate education in private sector, inspite of the accruable merit stand deprived of the same. Subsidized postgraduate education in public institutions, undoubtedly has demonstrably been a boon to the poor and deserving students.

6. The above-stated 5 (five) recommendations by the Committee are subject to the condition that against the very same units, teaching personnel and infrastructure, no other postgraduate courses under any other streams like National Board of Examinations, College of Physicians & Surgeons etc. are permitted.”

Whether the long duration of super-speciality courses (DM and MCH) of Cardiology, Gastroenterology, Nephrology and others could be reduced without compromising on high quality training:

The Study Group in its meeting held on 20.08.2008 had proposed that in order to conclude in regard to the aspect of evaluation of long duration of super-speciality courses (DM and MCH) and reduction of the period of study thereof without compromising with the high quality training had observed that opinion needs to be sought from the experts in the respective super speciality fields for an appropriate recommendation in this regard.

Accordingly, Director, PGIMER, Chandigarh; Director, SGPGI, Lucknow and representative from AIIMS were extended invitation. In response to the same, a meeting was convened on 14.10.2008, which was attended by Dr. Indrajit Ray, Chairman, Postgraduate Committee, MCI; Dr. Ved Prakash Mishra, Member, Executive Committee, MCI; Dr. K.K. Talwar, Director, PGIMER, Chandigarh; Dr. Sita Naik, Director, SGPGI, Lucknow and Dr. N.P. Gupta, Professor & Head, Department of Urology, AIIMS, New Delhi.

It was categorically brought out by all the 3 learned experts that there was variability in the duration of super speciality courses till late 1990’s, wherein some super speciality courses were of 2 years duration as against some courses of 3 years duration.

In order to bring parity, the Council in its Postgraduate Regulations had categorically provided for a uniform duration for all the super speciality courses as of 3 years. It was also decided that but for the certain super speciality courses in AIIMS, New Delhi, which are of 5 years duration wherein a student is admitted directly after his MBBS qualification, all other super speciality courses were brought within the ambit of the Postgraduate Regulation whereby the duration of study was prescribed to be of 3 years.

It was further observed by the learned experts that the “Reasons, the Grounds and the Basis” by virtue of which the super speciality courses of 2 years duration were altered to 3 years duration exist even today. Reverting back to the same situation would definitely amount to a “Retrograde Step”.

The informational expansion of the various super specialities in last 10 years has been mind boggling. The spate with which new “Dimensions, Techniques and Informational Inputs” have been added up, it is imperative that the same is provided within the curricular framework of the super speciality courses. In the teeth of expansion of the “Informational Inclusions” in the curriculum, the period of training is expected to be commensurate with the same.

It was also observed that the aim of a super speciality course is to generate a “Competent and Confident Consultant Super Specialist, who is expected to be “On his own” pertaining to the various “Advanced Competencies” in his speciality. He is expected to be the “Last Word” when it comes to dispensation by virtue of “Knowledge, Skill and Application” at his disposal in terms of the super speciality qualification gained/possessed by him.

Keeping this in mind, the experts were of the considered opinion that any alteration in terms of reduction of the time schedule would definitely lead to a compromise with the desired levels of quality education and also the expected outcomes thereof.

It was further observed that although there is no “Thesis” prescribed in the super speciality curricular frame, it should be prescribed that every student during his 3 years academic tenure for the concerned super speciality course shall at least publish/acceptance for publication of one research paper in an “Indexed Journal” as the first author. This should be the condition precedent for him/her to be eligible for his/her appearance at the university examination including theory, practical, clinical and viva voce. It would be almost akin to the condition, which is included pertaining to the M.D./M.S. examinations, wherein unanimous approval of thesis by all the

51

examiners is a “Minimal Must” for a candidate to be eligible for the university theory, practical, clinical and viva voce examination.

In view of the aforesaid observations, it was unanimously proposed that –

1. The duration of the super speciality study in respect of the students directly admitted after MBBS should be 6 years for the purposes of parity.

2. The duration of super speciality courses in respect of the students admitted after MD/MS courses for the cogent reasons brought out by the Committee should be maintained as 3 years.

3. It should be further stipulated that every student eligible for a super speciality course shall be required to publish/acceptance for publication of one research paper in an indexed journal, only upon which he would be eligible for his/her appearance at the university theory, practical, clinical and viva voce examination.

It was also proposed that in order to provide wider entry to the super speciality courses, an alternative avenue of having admissions to super speciality courses directly after MBBS may be thought of. The duration of such course should be kept of 5 years primarily on the basis that such a student shall be getting only one degree i.e. of his super speciality as against the student who is admitted to the super speciality degree after his postgraduate qualification, wherein the duration is 3 years, gets two degrees.

The other logic brought out is to the effect that a student directly admitted to the super speciality course after his MBBS qualification is totally focused on to the inclusions pertaining to his super speciality as against a student on his admission after the postgraduate degree qualification is require to spend 3 years in the “General Broad Speciality”. It was also brought out that such a curtailment of duration by one year would act as an incentive for the students who avail this mode for acquiring super speciality degree. It was also suggested that with the advent of newer and newer areas out of these super specialities, it would be appropriate if 2 years “Fellowship Programmes” are structured out in respect of the same. Feasibility should also be worked out, whereby such Fellowships are included as scheduled qualifications in the appropriate Appendix appended to the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956. The Study Group records its sense of gratitude to the learned experts who responded to the request made by the Council and rendered their valuable expert advise in the matter.” The above report may be placed before the General Body of the Council for approval. 127.
