List of medical colleges in India

India has several medical schools, they are usually called medical colleges. Most of the medical institutes were set up by the central and state governments in 50s and 60s. But in 1980s several private medical institutes were started in several states especially Karnataka. Andhra Pradesh state allowed start of several private institutions in new millennium. Medical schools quality is controlled by the central regulatory authority, Medical Council of India which performs inspection of the institutes from time to time and it recognises the institute for the educational courses. The basic medical qualification obtained in Indian medical schools is called MBBS. The MBBS course is of four and a half year's and is followed by one year of Compulsory Rotating Residential Internship. MBBS course is followed by MS, a post graduation course in surgical specialities or MD, a post graduate course in medical specialities which are usually of 3 years duration.

Super or sub-specialities are pursued and only a MS or MD holder is eligible to pursue. A qualification in super or sub speciality is called DM or M.Ch. Entry into medical education is based on entrance examination in most of the states. Some prestigious institutes like AIIMS, CMC(Vellore), JIPMER and AFMC conduct entrance tests at national levels and attract candidates from all over the country. Medical education in a private institute is a very expensive affair. Though India has several medical schools and produce thousands of medical graduates every year, there is a great shortage of doctors in the rural areas. Most of the graduates don' t like to practice in rural areas due to lack of facilities.

India is one of a few countries which produces many medical graduates from its medical schools who work not only in India but in many other countries all over the world, especially Middle East, UK and USA.
