JAMMU, June 27: Clouds of uncertainty are hovering over the additional MBBS seats at Government Medical College Jammu due to apathetical attitude of the administration which also failed to implement biometric attendance system despite strong note taken by a team of Medical Council of India. Moreover, GMC Jammu also failed to overcome other deficiencies pointed out by MCI.
MCI team had granted temporary permission to GMC Jammu to go ahead with the present 150 seats of MBBS but at the same time it took strong note of absence of biometric attendance system in the in premier institutes of the Jammu province. Team made clear that the permission will not be given for next session, if shortcomings are not met by the time it conducts next inspection, but the administration seems least bothered to meet the criteria set by MCI.
Credible Sources told Early Times that the administration of GMC Jammu had to face embarrassment on the issue of biometric attendance system and the MCI team took strong not of this deficiency and warned the administration to do the needful at the earliest. "The MCI team had pin pointed deficiencies viz. shortage of faculty, creating separate blocks in hostels for Boys and Girls, also creating boys and girls hostel in RS Pura, Senior Residents Quarters, an Examination Hall for 250 to 300 students, creating additional space in the class rooms to accommodate more students and to upgrade library facilities and overcome deficiencies in the blood bank.
"Since 2013, MCI had flagged shortcomings in the GMC for additional 50 seats and despite repeated instructions, the concern authorities have failed to adhere to them" a Senior faculty member told officials. He further said due to lack of essential infrastructure and others facilities, proposed increase in MBBS seats from 100 to 150 may not become reality.
He stated said that few departments of the medical college does not have adequate faculty. "The concerned management seems to be in no mood to protect the additional seats and the fate of 50 seats for MBBS will be decided after the inspection of the MCI team.

Principal of GMC Jammu Dr Sunanda Raina claimed that most deficiencies are about to be addressed by September this year. She toald that a letter has been written to Deputy Commissioner Jammu for sending a team at GMC Jammu to make Adhaar Cards of faculty members which is required to be linked with biometric attendance.
