what is the difference between permitted and recognised pg medical seats?will there be a problem if I join college with permitted pg seats?

Dear Sushmita, Permitted Medical Seats are those which have been given permission by Medical Council of India to be filled. And candidates who complete their course from permitted seats can ony practise within the State from which they completed their education. However recognised seat is which MCI has recognised it and it doesnt restrict any Medical Student to practise in only a certain State. Ideally MCI recognises permittes seats within 3 years. However this also depends on the facilities of the Medical college in question. In other words, if both permitted seat candudate and recognised seat candidate complete MBBS in Delhi, only Recognised seat candidate can practise in Telangana. Apart from the practising part, everything else remains the same.

Hello Sushmitha,

Recognised means – completed and satisfied the requirements for starting and continuing with a course of study (regarding infrastructure, teaching staff strength and their qualifications, facilities available to students, library, journals, conference room, amenities etc. so that students would not face any handicap in getting the standard of education prescribed by MCI.

Permitted — means one or two requirements are yet to be met and final approval pending. sec 10[a] of MCI rules permit this arrangement.

You can understand that permitted seats are given when final approval is pending. Try to ho for recognised seats only

Good luck
